Pros

Good people, very imaginative. Strong pipeline and R&D. It has a deep committment to patients and increasing quality of life. Some days you feel really great becuase of the things your company is doing for people.

Cons

It sometimes gets a little full of itslef and measures the wrong KPI and thus drives non essential behaviors and force employees to bend rules to maintain status quo. It seems when the company is not valuing you as a worker you are less motivated to complete the elements of your job which make it worthwhile.

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.
