...s absolutely no work-life balance as the teams are severely understaffed always. Have to work extra hours almost every day without any extra pay. Also have to work on weekends/ holidays, etc. There is no comp off or additional pay for this as well. There is no log off time in particular but we are expected to login on time in the morning.
