long hours, lots of travel and disengaged managers
Pros
good team members; ok compensation
Cons
I was told 4 days travel is typical. But my experience is that they mean 4-5 days on-site, no matter what that means to your travel schedule. My manager committed that I would be on-site Monday morning at 9 through Thursday at 5. But the customer was two time zones away, so I'm flying Sunday afternoon, and returning Thursday night on the red-eye, which is exhausting. Then Friday I'm expected to show up and work in the NY office all day after the red-eye. So I get Saturday to sleep, do laundry and then start all over again. My manager looks blank when I ask when we can do to get a little more balance, and simply says this is what the job takes. Nothing is worth this. To make it worse, many days when I'm at work, I really do not need to be - I could do everything remotely, there is little face to face interaction with the customer.
