Sign-on bonus, relocation bonus, good starting salary, good benefits package. The bait is great!

Cons

The generosity ends once you start. Negotiate hard because you are trapped where you enter.

Yearly performance reviews are brutal. Four late timesheets (past 3:00 PM on Friday) mean it doesn’t matter what you did all year. Sixteen hours a day, seven days a week means you get an average rating.

Oh, you want to get a good review? Try 17 million in revenue. How many certs did you get? And did you do any side projects in addition to your 80-hour week?

Travel is ridiculous. Think Best Western/Holiday Inn and enough money to eat at McDonald's. But their travel budget from customers is ridiculously high.

I’m looking for the ejection lever! A lot of people jump ship out of frustration.

Advice to Management

Improve the performance review process. Make a clear path to promotion. Your people work unlimited hours for you, but they aren’t treated very well.
