Usually FAANG's competitive culture pushes developers to stay week-long at the office:

I cope with loneliness by throwing parties inviting people I don't know but am somehow connected with, either via language studies, art clubs, hobbies etc. I partied with billionaires, professors from Princeton etc. that way.

I'm in the minority of people who I work with who check my email on weekends. Going into the office is practically unheard of.

I've visited Google offices occasionally on weekends, and they're ghost towns.

Google is different to other FAANGs though even there e.g. SREs might be pretty overloaded at times.

You are citing someone from Amazon suprised at their Facebook experience. So it's obviously not "usually FAANG's competitive culture"
