Pros

Very knowledgeable and fun colleagues. Good working atmosphere with other researchers.

Cons

Hierarchical management that is not knowledgeable. No ability to grow within the company. No contact with other divisions within the company. Very limited autonomy, limited freedom, and no clear purpose. Too much middle management that are protecting their own place.

Pros

The job is not too difficult. You mainly work on your own, Pay and benefits are outstanding.

Cons

12 hour shifts. Only one tech per shift so vacations can be a bit dicey. Support from peers is low and there is a lot of back biting in the lab. Sometimes they seem to be lookng for a scapegoat.
