Pros

Great salaries if you are lucky. Meaning you overwork yourself for that. Unbossed culture. In general the ones doing nothing are better paid.

Cons

Promised permanent work from home and now obliged the employees to accept hybrid ways of working without being ready for that( not enough desks).Nepotism.Unqualified managers being promoting for a simple fact that they are with their nose in the posterior of higher ups. "what can I do for you, I am so inspired by X 's words (a big boss usually). These individuals have the guts to tell you you are lacking the skills they will never build: you have no vision, no strategy when in fact the whole company's strategy has no logic.

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.
