Pros

I'm currently working remotely from Vancouver and actively participating in online meetings. This is a very good exercise for understanding English, because many people speak with different accents, and the remote style of work doesn't make it easier.

Cons

I can't take a vacation in the second half of each month because the product goes into the pre-lease stage at this time. Do they really have no one to take over my work while I'm on vacation?

Advice to Management

Try to make a better work-life balance for your employees.

Don't try to do the impossible.

People will be in a better mood and, as a result, produce better products.
