Pros

You get personal laptop No powe cuts Free cuppuccino You get paid monthly

Cons

No Onsite. And good employees leave frequently. Not Much respect for technical talent. If you are too good, you get so called onsite for couple of weeks. The organisations adaptibility to changing submission related standards is too slow. that leaves you less scope to strenthen your skills. Expectations are unmatchable against the time given. Too many project to handle and you end up innovating nothing. You are always underpaid. Appraisals are decided even before employee feedbaks in most of the cases. They outsource lots of projects and then realise its not working for some unknown reasons. Promotions are base on number of years in current role not based on talent and skills. Processes are complex than rocket science.

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.
