The work eventually has to get done, and it generally happens in 14-hour-day crunch sessions right before a deadline, where people basically live at their desk and food is brought to them. There were a couple projects I wasn't even told about until the day before they were due, and was basically told I'd be working all day. The company is the biggest of its kind in the region, so they get a lot of clients and charge a lot - but I also think they're ripe for being picked off by smart competition.
