Depending on the account you are on and the time of year, it can be difficult to fill your week with "meaningful" tasks. And if you have a "slow" season or time of year, management will continue to pile on smaller tedious tasks to get you back to a ~40hr/week work load. Then when you are in a crazy busy time of year, you are expected to complete all the time sensitive and major tasks while also continuing to complete the smaller BS ones. Also, the standard work day is 9hrs, not 8. Not uncommon to have to work late at night or on the weekend, depending on where your client is located. ie: East coast client needs it live online at 9am EST, that means you have to work at 6am PST to manually load it onto the website. Pay is also pretty bad in general. The position pays $15-20k less annually than other companies in the greater Seattle area, and its not uncommon to see 2-3 people leave at once for contract positions at Microsoft or Amazon. Recruiters will tell you that they promote aggressively from within and there is a lucrative bonus structure, but BDA wont let you apply for a promotion until you have been at the company 12-18 months, and the bonus structure has so many requirements (often unattainable goals) that you are lucky to receive a small portion of it, if any bonus at all. Basically, if you are being hired for an "entry level position" you will need to aggressively negotiate your salary as you will only be doing entry level work for the first 3 months or so. Also, no formal review at 90 days or 6 months. Your workload will quickly increase, but your pay will stagnate if you are not formally requesting reviews/pay raises.
