Pros

- Semi-structured training program for new hires - Catered meals - Complimentary Starbucks coffee - Reimburses cell phone minutes (but not data plan) - New hires have a personal meeting with the CEO - I joined because of my specific manager. Certain people are a pleasure to work with and are beneficial to your personal growth.

Cons

- High turnover rate - Poor quality work life balance, and you often have to depend on your fellow colleagues' discipline/efficiency as well as book limited laboratory time, but often can't plan too far in advance due to multiple last minute changes in schedule outside of your control - Approx 50% travel with many last-minute changes in travel dates make it hard to schedule your own personal life - Verbally abusive colleagues, especially many stingy technical leads and managers with poor management skills that threaten the employees on Visas about their job security - The bump in title to technical lead might not come with a salary bump depending on your negotiating skills
