Pros

Global Organisation. Leader in Pharma

Cons

Toxic, backstabbing, blame culture. Constant reorganisations and no clear strategy especially regarding IT. Future for Dublin uncertain. Continue to hire in people even though it’s known that reorg is pending and team, manager or often the role itself may be subject to change, removal or move to another location. Most jobs involve extraordinary levels of admin and deskilling in IT is an inevitability if you spend too long here.

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.
