Interesting and Busy Place to Work
Pros
I had the opportunity to do the following: 1. Design two PCBs (Printed Circuit Boards) in EAGLE (Easily Applicable Graphical Layout Editor). 2. Build custom power supplies, cables, and flash photolysis spectrometers. 3. Solder. 4. Build, troubleshoot, and repair computers and circuit boards. Most of my co-workers were very friendly and always willing to help. The job was very interesting and I really enjoyed it.
Cons
1. I had to spend a lot of time reverse engineering things since my predecessor had not created much documentation for the equipment or procedures. 2. The work area, tools, and supplies were in disarray when I first started, so I had to spend a great deal of time organizing everything and ordering the proper tools and supplies. 3. The pay was on the low side.
