Salaried #1. Rotating primary oncall, but expected to be available in case primary needs help with your specialty. No flex time/compensation, though they say they do in 'extraordinary circumstances', those only seem involve a pet project and at least 21 days straight and I've not ever qualified as it is managers discretion ( you have to request it and be willing to carry that stigma with management)
Expected to take Sick time for any appointments/time off between m-f but if you've worked +40 counting sat/sun it doesn't matter. You will receive a warning if you neglect to take PTO during 'working hours'. I have on occasion where I have been up till 3-4 am just emailed my manager and said I will be staying home sleeping and call if there is a fire. For a while our patch and test rotation required almost every weekend every 3rd month, in addition to other potential weekend work depending on projects. They are changing it so that it will be one weekend a month every month rotated. By weekend I mean Saturday and Sunday (mitigating this is that it can be done remotely) We have black berry's. We have an unfilled open position or two because the people who manage to find good jobs don't refer their friends. I am on the testing upgrade/looking around path myself.
