The expectations of you are pretty insane. Max effort on all fronts at all times. The work-life balance is considered a work-life blend because everyone works a million hours a week. Its hard on your relationships to be married to your job. It's not the workaholic culture that is promoted, it's a culture that promotes being"passionate about what we do" above all else. Even life outside of the job which is pretty rough. Expectations are extremely high and never ending. Lots of burnout
