Oh, is this one of those "have a hackathon, but do it in your off hours" companies?
Almost exactly incorrect. The Hackathon is strictly optional -- maybe 10% of the company participated. It runs 24 hours -- that's 5pm-5pm for me in EST, but much of the company is not EST. So it includes one full workday, but precisely how that hits your hours depending on your timezone. And how many hours you work on it is up to you: most people aren't silly enough to keep pushing to 1am, but nobody ever said I was entirely sensible.
Seriously: folks are too eager to assume that every company is evil. So far, Rally has managed to be an unusually good place to work, despite no longer being a small company. That's why I'm still here...
