Report says web firm employees under pressure

Employees in China's internet firms are working longer hours than their counterparts in financial companies, indicating the heavy pressure in China's booming internet industry, a report said on Thursday.

The average working time for internet workers exceeds 10 hours per day while financial service employees often leave the office at 5 pm, according to the Smart Transportation Report 2016.

The report was based on data from Didi Chuxing, the largest car-hailing platform in China. The firm claims it operates in 400 cities and has nearly 400 million users.
