Reviews Summary
Employees appreciate the company for its responsible and well-behaved staff, hardworking colleagues, and the provision of good salaries to all workers. They value the stability, good benefits, and the ability to finish work on time. Working with great, talented people and supportive colleagues and partners is highlighted as a positive aspect of the workplace.
On the downside, many employees express concerns about a lack of work-life balance, mentioning the need to work on Saturdays and holidays without compensation time off.

Additionally, fixed working hours without flexibility and long, competitive workdays are noted as challenges.
