Where the world's workaholics go

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Pros

Good compensation Mostly Friendly staff Some good values.

Cons

No work/life balance, you're expected to work at least 12 hours a day and you're looked at weird for wanting to work less than that. Company full of workaholics, your performance is mainly measured by how early you come and how late you go. People will literally stay late just for bragging rights. Funny that HR always talk about work/life balance yet they seem completely detached from reality.
