Pros

- Many side projects always available and opportunities to grow; - ok culture (not the worst, but not the best) - ok-ish salaries - some interesting HR programs (Spark points, internal communities, etc)

Cons

- highly political and stiff structure. its a company that lives for the rules and everyone hides behind an SOP; - its a company that sees problems and not solutions; - for some roles, that salary is not enough compensation for the headaches you will get; - most roles related to innovation and change are just for show; - training for manager is a joke.

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.
