Fast-paced, rapid change, challenging
Working with highly intelligent people in a challenging, fast-paced environment. Always striving to improve. Strong team culture. Ability to move around within the company, gaining exposure and experience. Good compensation and solid benefits, including tuition reimbursement and 401k matching.
Brutally long hours. Many teams are expected to support 7x24x365 operations. It's a common practice to not take vacation days. The rapid pace of change can be overwhelming, and there is a constant steep learning curve. If you want to advance your career, you have to be willing to relocate.
East Coast (HQ) teams have no problem setting meetings for early morning Eastern Time (as early as 5 am PST), but are consistently unavailable after 5 pm Eastern Time (2 pm PST). We keep getting told we're a national company and just need to "suck it up" on those 5 am calls, especially after working through most of the night (maintenance window), but it appears to only work one way.

Overall, a more laid-back interview. The interview went on for an hour and a half (30 minutes over). They seemed to be explaining roles more, as opposed to asking about specific technology skills.
