Ah, the Tech & Services group at Baird, quite the busy bees from what the WSO threads suggest. Here's the scoop:

  • Hours: They're pretty intense. One might say you'll be burning the midnight oil regularly. The chatter on the street (or should I say, forum) points to 2 AM log-offs being pretty standard, with 3 AM or even 4 AM nights sprinkled in every so often. It's like a nocturnal lifestyle over there, so pack your best pajamas because you might be living in them.

  • Culture: It's a mixed bag, really. There's some talk about Baird pushing the whole "caring culture" narrative, but when the rubber meets the road, it seems that might not be the full picture. Some say the culture is great, especially if you're not in the Industrials or T&S groups, which are said to be particularly grueling. But then again, there's mention of a VP who seems to be quite proud of his earnings, calling at the witching hour to boast. So, it's safe to infer that while there might be a sense of camaraderie, the pressure is on, and it's not all sunshine and rainbows.

Remember, this is the word on the street, and experiences can vary wildly. But if you're looking to join the T&S ranks, be prepared for some long nights and a culture that's competitive, to say the least. Cheers and good luck!
