,
this
 situation has more cons than pros. I will throw more light on
this
 perspective below. It has been observed in many IT companies that employees stretch their working
hours
 and spend very less time with their families. Most people believe that working late
hours
 will create a good impression on their boss and they may get promotions early compared to their fellow colleagues. Extending the working
hours
 on a regular basis may lead to serious health consequences.

 kills a relaxing time which one can spend with their family and friends.
This
 situation destroys work-life balance and because of
this
 people start facing issues in their personal life. Today management

 prefers smart work rather than working hard. So,
instead
 of creating a good impression employees will be suffering rather bad consequences in both personal and professional space.

 cases.
For example
, when there is an implementation for some project and a bug has been identified and needs an urgent fix at that moment itself. In
this
 case, if a person extends his support and solves the problem,
this
 creates a very good impression on customers or senior management and there are chances of receiving a bonus. So, to conclude, working for long
hours
 should be avoided unless it is very urgent as it can cause serious health issues and can lead to problems in personal space too.
