Pros

Some colleagues are genuinely dedicated and supportive. Opportunities for skill development, although they come with a catch.

Cons

One of the most concerning aspects is the perception that initial salary offers are intentionally kept low to highlight cost savings. Clear favoritism in promotions, particularly towards those who align themselves with higher-ups. Lack of transparency in decision-making processes. A culture that may hinder career growth based on merit alone. Furthermore, it's disheartening to observe that promotions often appear to depend on "sucking up" to specific individuals rather than merit or performance.

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.
