Any anecdotes on best major developer to work for in terms of culture/WLB?

Anybody on here work for one of the major developers or know anybody that works at one of these players? I know long hours and not great cultures is sort of name of the game with these guys but would be great to know which ones are more enjoyable work places than others. 

Specifically looking more into developers that are asset type agnostic, not focused on only one or two asset types.

Thanks
