Pros

Enthusiastic, meritocratic culture. Great ergonomics - employer really takes care of you during office hours. Free cafeteria, health insurance benefits, travel, and internet reimbursements. Work from home option. Good learning curve; we get a lot of opportunities to learn and contribute. Work is well appreciated.

Cons

Difficult to take leave when we want. We are expected to work on most weekends, with 60-70 hours per week of work expected. Pay rises are very low. Understaffed teams and too aggressive deadlines contribute to the issues. The same profile in the US gets paid way more and they don't work on weekends – it's very unfair.

Advice to Management

If you want a 24x7 design cycle, please get enough staff to take care of work on weekends.
