Pros

Some good benefits, with the companies culture and facilities. Everything is on one site, banks, gym, supermarket, government facilities etc.. so no need to leave the campus.

Cons

Some very ambitious people and scrupulous characters running the company, beware jobs are never secure here and huge amounts of wasteful projects. The company is haemorrhaging money and costs are being cut everywhere as a result expected to do more work for less benefits and its all going overseas anyway. Used to be a heavy weight of the pharma industry but now more like TATA Constructions with misdirection and the typical snake charming of berated management.

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.
