I interviewed there (with about a half dozen people). Interviews were a joke, it was all whiteboard leetcode with no real insight into technical thought process or real world work talk.

I did ask every person I met "How many hours, on average, do you work in a week?"

Ever single person gave me a non-answer that tried to change the topic. My favorite response to the question was "We are super flexible on where you work, like sometimes I like to work from a cafe". If that had been the only person I asked, I might have thought he misheard me. Since a pattern had been established at this point, I just moved on.

I know every team in a big company is going to be different, but my experience is that they churn and burn fresh coders and let the more ruthless, politic-y type rise up.
