Pros

The people in the lab were mostly great to be around

Cons

No matter what problem we had, we couldn't get it fixed due to corporate overhead and a bureaucracy that didn't listen. People have too much overtime, are tired and hate their job? Their response was just to work less and get approval for overtime, which would have meant not completing tests and thus getting fired. Speaking of which, in no specific order: Chronically understaffed and overworked Some jobs are isolated and lonely Dealing with disgusting samples sometimes (didn't bother me too much but it might bother others)

Pros

Good starting salary, interesting work, sometimes possible to earn a decent bonus. Some people who work there are very nice, some camaraderie.

Cons

Toxic team energy, poor and even toxic management, constantly changing management team and expectations, no long term strategy, no clear or attainable path to career advancement, no job specific training, high expectations, bonus structure changes often so once you earn good money it will go away, tend to overload existing employees instead of hiring enough people, “boys club” on some levels (lots of favoritism). My job basically got switched the minute I started to include way more responsibilities. Diversity initiatives, but in practice I felt there was still discrimination. Bit of a revolving door, did not seem to be much value placed on retention. Individual sites basically compete against each other, you could be doing well or have a good idea and they may still give the opportunity to someone else across the company. Overall didn’t seem like anyone (even my own team) really cared that I worked there.
