Pros

Allows for some nice work-life balance. Working from home is frequently encouraged where need-be.

Cons

Low morale, long hours & unlikelihood of bonuses based on poor decision-making. Has created a culture this year of revolving doors with an expectation of even more people leaving in the next 3 months. Leadership (Germany) continues to make enormous mistakes that affect all. Incredible, astounding erros this year, and already mistakes made that will severely impact 2019. Ultimately it's difficult when you see so many talented people working relentlessly to combat decisions they had nothing to do with. To get monthly updates on how poorly we're struggling. Unfortunately, there truly is not yet end in sight. But we're trying!

Pros

The job is not too difficult. You mainly work on your own, Pay and benefits are outstanding.

Cons

12 hour shifts. Only one tech per shift so vacations can be a bit dicey. Support from peers is low and there is a lot of back biting in the lab. Sometimes they seem to be lookng for a scapegoat.
