-good carrer orientation. -good work life balance -supportive management -no time keeping practice , which give employees a kind of freedom to perform. -good pipeline. -Company has good ethics. -Work gets recognized in form of awards

Cons

-location priority -As company works more on outsourcing model, vendors are more previleged/prioritized then employees -If you show off you get promoted else you are ignored (management is not capable of tracking the right candidate). -you scrach my back, I shall scratch your back approach from management. -If you have technical orientation for IT, wrong place to work.

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.
