Avantages
- Unparalleled work-life balance, especially for tech workers.
- A very relaxed and friendly environment with no micromanagement.
- Generous leave policies.
- Most projects have very slow deadlines, so there’s no significant work pressure.
- A laissez-faire work culture.
- If you’re contemplating retirement, pursuing a master’s degree, or starting a side hustle, this is an excellent place to work.
