At my work place (which is the best place I've ever worked, hands down), we are considered highly paid engineers and on-call work is just part of our normal comp. On your given team, you do one week of on call work, and then rotate to the next team member. Usual team size is about 5 people. If something happens and you find yourself brutalized over night, the manager usually gives you a comp day.
Edit: we've done a lot of work around auto-remediation and removal of non-actionable alerts. Alerts should need human intervention. Some on call rotations we don't get a single page, some are noisy. But usually, I might wake up early or in the middle of the night once or twice every other rotation. Figured that was worth qualifying my answer.
