I think I would love to work in an environment like you describe, but my one experience in an environment like this before was that people really emphasize working hard over working smart. (Also, if I'm not allowed to push back against management, that would be a deal breaker) I wonder what they do to stop and think of new approaches to work when everyone is tired all the time working 12 hours days. Often I find I can save 10's or hundreds of hours just from taking a break and thinking about the problem differently. Maybe I should interview to see what it's like out of the horses mouth and not rumors on the web, but my impression of the culture he is proposing is long hours for the vision, not because the work itself is engaging.
