From your description, it sounds like you work at Amazon. I work in a SF tech giant but haven't worked at any of the FAANG companies per se. But from what I hear from ex-employees, the rest of FANG (and all tech giants for that matter) is fairly diverse (e.g. I hear there's a lot of overtime at FB)

Also, mind you that teams dynamics can vary a lot even within one company. You could try talking to coworkers you know to get a feel for how other teams function. You can obviously also apply at other companies, but then the team you ultimately end up at could be more of a gamble (e.g. I hear this is especially so at Google)
