The family of a Microsoft engineer who died while at work are warning that Silicon Valley companies are overworking their employees.
Pratik Pandey was found face-down in the early hours of August 20 in Mountain View, California, inside the Microsoft campus, The Palo Alto Daily Post reported.
An initial report from the Santa Clara County Medical Examiner seen by the outlet indicated that the 35-year-old suffered a heart attack.
His uncle, Manoj Pandey, recalled Pratik as being a bright, hardworking young man but said he was known for staying at work well into the night.
Pandey told the outlet that the tech giant and other firms need to be aware of the dangers of overworking and helping employees deal with stress and pressure.
