Same for us in Bay Area with 7 AM calls to talk to our euro brethren. It is not all rosy. And with the on call shift (when on call, not every week) going till 6:30 pM, sometimes it is 12 hour work days by design. on the other hand, they don't bug us much during the day with micro management so it is not all bad. |

In India it’s routine (in fact standard) for US companies to have the Indian on-call person for 24x7 on-call. Rarely companies have follow the sun policy. Very few! Definitely not Ubers and Amazons.
And Indian managers are the enforcers of this - it’s probably one of the only significant USP these managers have “I’ll get it done by same engineers at the lower Indian rates“.
US HR and leadership wash their hands off the problem - “oh, we give you full ownership, you should decide and own this” :)
