My rotation was a bit weird. I was on an ops team for a service, but my ops team did not have our own rotation- each of us took part in the various dev team rotations (the theory is nice, the ops team had a deep view of most aspects of the service. I don't think this was common to other service teams). The dev team I took part in was an absolute trainwreck. Poorly managed at the team level and one level above (the owners/managers of the service). More concerned with getting features out and burning through people to make progress. The issues were always brought up and root-caused properly, but poor architecture led to a lot of "well, we can't do that until x happens". I should reiterate that I'm no longer at the company - definitely wasn't the place for me (and my sanity)!
