Interesting products to work on, but very poor work-life balance, no recognition for effort

Business Outlook

Pros

Interesting projects and fun company culture. Also some very knowledgeable and helpful team members

Cons

No work-life balance, and consecutive weekends spent working from home or in office, or on call, months at a time. Little to no recognition for the hard work you put in, and definitely no tangible rewards.
