ou bien
qui travaille dur en sachant se ménager

travaille dur, mais crée une atmosphère décontractée
je ne crois pas qu'il s'agit de jeu, mais de façon d'envisager le travail
"In their 1984 book, Corporate Cultures[2], Deal and Kennedy identified a particular corporate culture which they called the "work hard/play hard culture."
"Fun and action are the rule here, and employees take few risks, all with quick feedback; to succeed, the culture encourages them to maintain a high level of relatively low-risk activity."

"Our comfortable environment speaks to our friendly, open nature
We work hard to foster enthusiasm, creativity and fun. In turn, we are rewarded with a truly special group of talented, passionate, dedicated folks who help shape the success of our company.
CGI Interactive is an established B2B marketing and multimedia agency. As a web developer you will be working on a diverse set of projects for large name brand companies. As such you should be comfortable working with a wide range of technologies in a team environment on major marketing initiatives. Our team works hard and plays hard in a relaxed, yet professional environment.
