This is not where I work

Other areas include a games room, a library in the style of an English country house and an aquarium where over-worked Googlers can lie in a bath full of red foam and stare at fish.

I've always assumed it was pretty much 24x7 job with commensurate burnout rate.

But I also know many talented programmers who are routinely required to work 80+ hour work weeks, in far less luxurious environments. Seems like there's no middle ground.
