Burnt Out
Pros: Basically the salary and technology exposure
Cons: I have only been here 2 months and already burned out on the amount of hours put in. I been working 12-18 hours a day after completing orientation. te bizarre thing is that management is suppose to follow a "follow the sun" model with counterparts in other regions filling in on off prime time hours. They work 18 hours a day as well. None of this makes any sense from a follow the sun model. To be honest, the bump in salary is not worth the stress and quality of life negative impacts since I been with the firm. Also, lack of culture and team comradery. Everyone does their own thing with little regard to standards and makes them up along the way. There is very little knowledge sharing or procedural documentation.  The procedures that are documented are more firm related and doesn't help with your daily job responsibilities. This job reminds me of a brokerage trading floor scenario, were retail people only last 3 years before they get burned out and quit.
