Black Mountain Systems reviews

1) You are expected to work an average of 50 hours per week. While the company does help you with crafting a more comfortable schedule around that 50 hours, it is still a large chunk of time to swallow. I have found myself struggling with this many times throughout my time here and I can easily understand why other people struggle as well. Also, you are taking a 20% hit to your salary based on time worked because you are being paid for a 40 hour work week, but expected to work 50 hours. For example, if you are paid $70K a year, that's $1400 a week, and $35 an hour (8 hrs a day, 5 days/week, 50 weeks/year). However, you are expected to work 50 hours a week (10 hours a day). If you worked hourly, your weekly pay would be $1750 for that 50 hours. Since the job is salary and you only get $1400 a week, you lose that 20% for the extra time spent at work. 2) There are also other trade-offs to the benefits here. They do offer 4 weeks paid vacation which is good, but there is no separation of sickness vs regular time off. If you come down with some debilitating disease that takes you out for a week, that is a week out of your vacation time as well. While the managers say to take time off when you are sick so as not to infect anyone else, the incentive is to not do that so you can get more time off for fun things. The company also does not contribute to your 401k plan at all.

Not much to say here, except the workload can be challenging at times.
