Interesting. I've had the opposite experience. On-call was never expected (for software engineers... for Ops people in the NOC, SREs, etc., it was an explicit job requirement) at the larger places I've been inside of, but it has been an expectation (typically unspoken, typically in-addition-to an on-call rotation) for the smaller places and startups I've worked at.
