Minpunten
The learning curve to get started on most projects is very intense. The work given completely exceeds the amount that any one person can do in a work week. Company laptops are often given, specifically so that one can take their work home, making the amount of overtime put in, upwards of 20 additional hours per week. Most management are former military, and are genuinely there to make money and not friends; so they are not very nice. The significant number of men to women workers also makes it somewhat difficult to work with if you are female. Projects are often very large and dynamic, and you only ever get to see a very small portion of that project. This makes it difficult to see the whole picture and to feel that your specific work is purposeful. There is also limited positive feedback.
