Don't work here if you have a family
Don't work here if you have a family
There was a lot to like. The work is interesting. There are a lot of smart people. I learned a lot. If this is your first job out of college and you want to work a lot, then great. If you have a family, don't work here.
Everyone worked 60 hours a week or more, and they'll expect you to work the same.
I would get guidance from my manager on what he wanted me to be working on over the weekends.
10 pm conference calls are routine, and pager duty is a nightmare.
I got to watch my young son cry because I was working too much. That was it; I got out.
I looked at transferring, so I talked to my manager about it. The next day, he put me on probation to stop it.
You can see how high turnover is. That's not good.
