Stressful, feels like you have to be 'always on' - Software Developer RBC Employee Review

- the culture in my team makes me feel I have to be 'always on'. If I stop working for 15 minutes to take a break I'm at risk of not meeting a deadline. - half of the team works overtime almost as a given, working well into the night and weekends to make deadlines (without pay). The work isn't properly estimated and thus people are doing overtime. But then in future cycles the same thing happens because the last deadline was met so the new deadline should be fine too right? - working this much and always being on edge just simply isn't worth it for the current pay. The other banks are paying the same, sometimes more and it's much more relaxed.
