Work Hard, Play Hard
Work Hard, Play Hard
They work you hard, which occasionally leads to burnout. However, the work tends to be quite interesting, which makes the whole process satisfying.
Minimal perks, frugal is an understatement, but occasionally it's to the point of penny pinching.
Depending on your team, there may be as little as no team-building type activities. Though I've heard tales of other teams that do beer and board games and pizza quite frequently.
If you have a budget to spend on your team, spend it! It's there to make sure your team is working in tip-top shape. It may not seem like much, but when there's a little bit of tangible gratitude for the work we've been putting in, it's quite uplifting.
