What was the difference between what you thought the company culture was when you were applying for the role you are in now and what it actually ended up being?

When I first started, everybody seemed kind of relaxed, and it seemed like a decent safe place to work. However, things have changed and the culture has become a lot more competitive and people are not above backstabbing each other.

I thought it was going to be a lot busier than it actually is. I guess I fell victim to buying into all the "fast paced" language in the JD, because that hasn't been my experience at all. Which is a bit of a double-edged sword. I like that things aren't total chaos, but not having a whole lot on my plate at any one time makes the days drag by.

They said for me it would be busy once a month.

I thought it was busy where I was prior to this group. It’s easily a 60-hour job just to tread water and they want folks to be checking emails, messages, phone calls while on vacation.

*sigh*
