Pros
Wide range of projects to work on so it's very easy to pick up something new throughout the year. The department is very well respected due to the nature of our work. This position allows for you to have a direct impact on new products, old products, and basically anything that matters at the manufacturing plant. The people in Tech Transfer are extremely intelligent and supportive. They are going through the same activities and struggles as you and are always willing to help out.
Cons
The management is all talk and no action sometimes. They speak about changing the culture for the better but there are never any actions to back up their statements. The workload is VERY intense at times and it is very hard to plan what you will be working on as priorities can change drastically from day to day. Communication between departments is sometimes lacking. Everything is always high pressure at the last minute because everyone is burdened with work and cannot find time to plan projects accordingly.
