I worked for YC company around 2014-2019 an it was all chill. I guess that's because the office had 10 hours difference with SF and I wasn't getting any shares, just the usual above the market compensation. I would laugh in the face of whoever suggests to work literal 7 days a week as total nutjob, but I'm hopefully done with the whole VC and big tech thing.

In my experience, long hours and death marches are a sign of inept management, or unrealistic goals, both being very bad for long term company health. I've had all-nighters, 7-day weeks, and death marches, but those were the exception, the result of unplanned, temporary circumstances. The norm was 5 days, engineering shouldn't be a sweat shop.
