Hours are bad, and the culture could be bad or bearable depending on which team and seniors/managers that you are working with. People do complain alot too. But if there are deliverables and timeline, people will put in the hours and badger the clients to get things done. If one dislikes it, we will just leave after 1 - 4 years. Typically, you will have 50% +- per batch to last till senior 2nd year, and 20%+- last till manager.

I am not sure how different it is now. I could see how there would be a ton of complaints or a higher level of unwillingness to join the industry. But I assume for those who joined, basic work ethics and principles such as meeting deadlines and completion of deliverables are being uphold?
