Like others are saying, the experience varies widely. One thing that I haven't seen in the thread is a discussion of whether you actually own the code that will be causing you to get paged. One of the worst work experiences I've ever had is being on a platform team where we were on the hook not only for the platform problems themselves, but also for errors in application code that manifested themselves as platform issues.
Yes, this was a problem with insufficient logging. However, when you have a platform used internally by dozens of other teams, it's nigh impossible to ensure that all of those teams are logging and handling errors sufficiently well to ensure that the platform team gets paged for only platform errors.
