No work-life balance. They overload people with tasks and expect it to be done. In an environment full of people who normally spend over 80 hours a week working, 120-hour workweeks are normal. Work is done not based on responsibility but on basis of cred. If you are new, you arnt very valued, and people feel free to offload work on you and not give you credit for the same. Not every manager is good or understanding. Some dont care cause they are "busy", so weekly check-ins can get cancelled on the whim. People work on cred, in the sense that if you are older, you might get quicker responses from your XFns but otherwise, people wont answer for 24 hours sometimes, and this is where work might take a hit. Everyone is so packed that its hard to find time for life. They also might relocate people to offices that the team isnt operating out of. Being isolated and lonely is normal and they will throw the counselor at you like the benefits should fix the issues. They want people of the same level to show similar levels of impact, but the pay disparity is based on area of expertise. A person making 150k has less incentive to make the same impact as the person making 700k , just cause they are the same IC level. Lastly, if you try to speak up against a member no matter how bad the harassment is, you will get laid of. Its more cult-y than a normal workplace in certain teams. The pay does not justify the lifestyle for a person in their 20s and early 30s with a social life and ambitions.
