Pros

The organisation is good as a whole but not the managers as their personality reflect arrogance and bad attitude. If you are a bengali then its not that bad.

Cons

Well all the managers from Practice Heads to Team Leads are full of crap. Horrondous culture. They don't do anything to keep the employees happy but everything to ruin their career. They have too much favouritism towards those bengali folks since the managers and the group heads are bengali. It was all about putting their favourite employees on the silver plate while drawning the others in the mud. Plenty of immature bullying that often comes off as cartoonish, be it TLs or even Practice Heads. I am assuming they need to layoff such managers, clean off the middle managers to create a good environment in the organisation. Till then avoid it like a plague

Pros

Pays pretty well in comparison to similar jobs in the market

Cons

Unstable schedule where you are often asked to come in overnight (1-2 am) regardless of if you have worked the previous day or are off. Basically feels like you're permanently on-call to conduct environmental monitoring. Training is slow. The Micro dept in general is currently understaffed. The job also involves lab work once you are done with your daily environmental monitoring tasks. The work never ceases and the Technicians as a whole has several responsibilities. Promotions seem to come very slowly here.
