- The work gets boring very quickly, you most definitely do not need a degree to do it.
- You don’t learn anything, and at times you might feel like your brain cells are dying.
- Expectations vary from team to team and can be ridiculous (given the pay).
- Progression is largely based on luck, you can work incredibly hard and still not get promoted.
- Whether you do well or not month on month will inevitably affect how you are feeling outside of work because a) it’s all anyone talks about and b) it affects your salary.
- The people managing you have no management experience (other reviews have called this ‘the blind leading the blind’, I’d say that’s pretty accurate).
- Most of the brightest hires leave within a year. As a result, the majority (not all) of the people you answer to are not the sharpest. These are the people who then micromanage you.
- The micromanagement is unbelievable, and insulting. You often find yourself being treated like a child by someone who only has a few months more experience than you.
