What a poor bunch of overworked human beings, with almost no control over the product they work on. Frantically following the whims of managers, reduced to labour units in this late stage capitalist hellscape.
It probably depends what team you're on, but I would not describe it as "pretty shitty." Being oncall for a 24/7 service sucks, yeah, but for my team it is one week a quarter and I haven't had any outside-of-biz-hour alarms the last few shifts. Other than that -- my work is challenging and interesting, my colleagues are friendly and smart, and my manager is decent. Not a lot to complain about.
