Depends on your function and role on a team. I've had 70 hour weeks, albeit infrequent, but my average is 45-50. It is not uncommon to have a 40 hour week

401K is the best I've ever heard of. The match is 50% up to 8% of contribution (4%) but there is a discretionary contribution that has historically been 7% (11% of salary total). Vesting schedule requires you to stay 5 years.

Locked into job levels, difficult to negotiate. 2 weeks for junior employees with less than 5 years service, then increases to 3 weeks. Max at 5 weeks to the best of my knowledge

Relationships, relationships, relationships. More than any other company I've worked for, who will recommend you can be more important than the quality of the work you do.

3 (2 phone, 1 full-day on-sight) Interviews, Gallup screening

Learn the history of the organization, have insights about where they're going.

Network with current or former employees, learn about the culture, be direct and don't rely on submitting your resume to get an interview.

Demonstrate your history of successfully overcoming challenges and showing that you're a high-performing candidate.

Be more transparent about the process. I got notification of my full-day interview at 7pm the evening before I was scheduled at 8am.

You work on interesting problems to solve and with people who are smart and driven. Teams matter here. On a good team, life is great. Dysfunctional team, and life is rough.
