Working Conditions for Software engineers and designers

Since software engineering is required in many different industries, software engineers and designers may work in a wide variety of settings in addition to Information Technology (IT) labs and offices. Many may also telecommute from home offices, using such technology as videoconferencing to interact with co-workers. Workers may also combine telecommuting with work in a traditional office setting. Software engineers and designers often work on projects in a team environment with engineers and designers in other disciplines. They typically work 40 hours per week; however, longer hours and overtime are often required to meet deadlines. These professionals must employ ergonomic work practices when working on computers in order to lower risks of wrist, back or neck stresses associated with sitting for extended periods of time.
