Pros
You learn quickly because you are working so much and expectations are high
Cons
Management really doesn’t care about you. The partner was an HR nightmare that no one did anything about. They will constantly tell you to communicate but when you do it’ll either work against you or they will ignore it, depends on what you say. Yes this will accelerate your career but at what cost? People are aging quickly from stress and you can see it in their faces from one year to the next. When I spoke up about having time for family, the best advice they could give me was “make time”. Very unrealistic for the implicit expectations given to everyone. You don’t meet over your expected utilization you’re a problem, so of course you’re not going to have a chance to make time. Just remember that you are investing your time and energy into a place that doesn’t care about you.
