The biggest takeaway is that the non-managerial colleagues are all very nice. You can also learn a lot from them and make some good friends.
Most working hours are devoted to various meetings and reports, leaving very little time to actually get work done. As a result, you often have to take your computer home to work overtime.
Various regular meetings: weekly meetings, monthly meetings, team meetings, quarterly meetings, as well as ad hoc meetings that are scheduled from time to time.
Various reports: reports for weekly meetings, presentations for monthly meetings, and internal reports prepared before reports are submitted to vendors.
The supervisor also keeps track of female colleagues’ menstrual periods, supposedly because they may need to check whether menstrual leave has been taken improperly.
When you take sick leave, they will show concern, but they will check whether you actually saw a doctor and took medication.
They often sneak peeks at your computer screen and note which screen you have left open for a long time. You cannot use your phone for too long without being questioned (even when contacting clients); they may ask why you do not just make a phone call or send an email.
