- Average overtime for engineers is about 20 hours per month.
Currently, there is a polarization between those who work overtime in accordance with their life stage and individual preferences, and those who do not work overtime at all.
i.g. Those who do almost no overtime work in order to focus on their private life.
Those who work overtime to focus on their own growth and career.
- There are many engineers who are raising children, and they are flexible to leave work in the middle of the day or finish work early to pick up their children.
Work is evaluated based on output, not working hours.
- The company system allows full remote work, so there are many engineers who work full remotely from rural areas.
