Big tech (FAANG - Amazon) working culture: do they usually start late like 9am? Or 8am is the standard? Excluding Amazon for now as I heard they have long working hours.

I work 9-5pm with a lunch break.

Are you asking about FAANG in general or only Amazon? I’m at G - work starts at 9 of your time zone in general but sometimes because I’m in a customer facing role I do join calls at 8 only if needed. If I skip I just ensure to decline the invite and it’s okay. I also set up working hours which ensures internally everyone knows I only work 9-5

Depends on role and team. Generally, if you've got distributed teams, you may have some calls after hours. When I was in my old role, I had late evening calls with Asia. Now, in my new role, with most of the team & stakeholders on the west coast, I can stick to 9-5 for meetings.

I probably work after hours 2-3 days a week, since my entire day is spent in meetings.

I start between 9-11 am depending on how late my meetings will go. If I have late meetings...I start late

Does anyone else here have an unusual work schedule? Curious what adjustments you’ve made to make it work.
