Pros

I don't find any reason to work in this company.Not eligible to get even 1 rating.

Cons

No growth ,it's like govt company and no one cares or appreciate your work ,big time politics.Worst leadership.No respect to employees.You won't get opportunities outside if you work long term. Namesake policies don't attract with 6 months paternity leaves and work homes you will fall into trap ,it's not in reality.

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.
