Pros

Some benefits like pension contributions but other big pharma olds have smiliar options. All pros are not good then other top big pharma companies Maybe the only think is work life balance -

Cons

All ethical values are a lie ! HR always listen to managers. Your legal rights are not something they consider. They want you to be their slaves. They don’t respect your personal life and development outside of the company. They pay less but I believe also they pay emigrant less than citizens

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.
