The job posting and interview will rave about the great opportunities at Xerillion. You'll be told you can become an equity partner in the business. You'll be told nothing less than a steady work/life balance is acceptable. Then you start work, sign the paper work, then the reality comes out. You'll be told the "Honeymoon is over." You're thrown into the fire with little training, and are expected to bill a lot of hours daily. If you fail to do so, you'll receive a phone call from the superior who isn't afraid to "get tough" with you. If you need to come in late to take your child to school or if you get sick last minute or have an emergency, you'll be told no, and threatened with your job. You'll find yourself questioning your decision to leave your old job for this one. Employees have been fired and had their unemployment claims contested. The clients have little or no respect for the owner of the business. It's really a place to avoid if you can.
