Here's some more information about Theranos... I interviewed with these guys recently. One of the things the interviewer stressed is that the programmers there typically work 60-hour weeks, and would I be okay with that. He said he was very proud of the fact that they used to work 80-hour weeks but had gotten it down to about 60. I passed on them just for this one reason...
The interview coding challenges were fairly well-designed and somewhat fun to do, though.
I was somewhat recently contacted for an interview, and the interviewer mentioned 45-55 hour work weeks, but other than that, the company seemed like it would be a decent company to work for. The screening process is somewhat more hardcore than others, but that can be a good thing.
