Smart people, pays well, but bad work-life balance
You work with really smart people and get to learn a lot. You get to make a great customer impact. You own a large part of what you develop, so you can be autonomous. You're paid really well.
Work-life balance is bad. Employees frequently work very late into the night. Many times they are asked to come in on a Saturday.
It is not easy to obtain permission to take leave if it's more than a couple of days.
If you're on-call, you can be contacted at any time during your on-call period for servicing issues.
Keep a watch out for the frequency at which people work overtime, and discuss what can be done to avoid this with that person.
