I don’t know where you heard terrible benefits. The whole point with tech companies is that the benefits are so good that you don’t “need" to go home, hence the work life balance issues.

Depends on the team and role... also what level you'd be coming in at. The benefits aren't great, but they do offer a signing bonus and vested stocks (after so many years).
