That's largely true for me as well (also Googler, albeit recent). Looking after a somewhat broader area in SRE as a manager, the one thing that makes that tricky at times is time zones of partner teams and stakeholders. I think Google does an overall good (but not perfect) job at trying to lessen the negative impact of that. There is a culture of respecting people's private time and working hours. There is certainly a culture of caring about each other's well being. (This may be biased by my org, SRE, or my office in Europe.)
