The clearest thing about life is that there is limited time to enjoy it. In order to provide the maximum value for clients, shareholders, and staff, we strive to allow this time to be used in an optimal way. This means that we respect the fact that people need to have lives outside the office, and we hope to provide an environment where people feel comfortable taking the time that they need to stay healthy and happy.

Not only is this policy humane, but it also provides time for individuals to grow and rejuvenate, enhancing hourly productivity. We would prefer to bill out a programmer who only works 5h days and is well rested, rather than a consultant who works 12h days and is exhausted, because it is not realistic to expect the exhausted person to deliver as much value to the client.
