And honestly, it's a very reasonable question.
Because behind the question about overtime is not only about whether someone needs to work extra hours.
What many candidates really want to understand is:

In product development, every team has its own working context.
There are periods when everything runs smoothly. But there are also times when teams need to put in more effort, such as during product releases or when handling incidents.
That's why the answer to "𝐷𝑜𝑒𝑠 𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑠 𝑡𝑒𝑎𝑚 𝑤𝑜𝑟𝑘 𝑜𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑡𝑖𝑚𝑒?" cannot always be the same for every team.
What matters is:
𝐎𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐚 𝐝𝐞𝐟𝐚𝐮𝐥𝐭 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐣𝐨𝐛.
When additional working hours are required, they are 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐠𝐧𝐢𝐳𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 according to company policy and applicable labor regulations.
At the same time, teams continuously work on improving planning, resource allocation, and collaboration to reduce prolonged overtime whenever possible.
At SoftFlex, we believe that a good working environment does not mean there will never be overtime or challenging periods.
It means that when those situations happen, they are discussed transparently and handled in a fair way.
That is also why, during conversations with candidates, we focus on sharing more about:
🔹 The team
🔹 The way of working
🔹 The real context behind each role
rather than providing a one-size-fits-all answer.
