      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good company to gain knowledge of cell processing..staying long term NO.

      Cons

      Work life Balance...Definite favoritism. QA sole job is to watch everything you do and open investigation. It's like there cops filling ticket quotas. Management and supervisor dont Communicate. And if you make mistake even if it isnt your fault you get benched from processing. No remediation or possible retrainin just bench until they say you can process again. Clean room modules are small and your literally on top of each other trying to work. Equipment is always broken or not enough to go around. And long hours inside the modules.
