Pros

Not many pros to working here. I would say that the days go quick due to being VERY busy.

Cons

Absolutely terrible place to work. I was only here a short time, but it is by far the most unprofessional and most toxic workplace I have ever experienced. The labs are full of young staff with minimal management and given a lot of responsibility. It is a very school like environment, with lots of gossiping and bullying. The management they have is very poor and do not want to hear about any problems, they will avoid confrontation and just send down emails instead. Despite this, the laboratory work is actually interesting but VERY repetitive and mind numbing if you are kept in one area for too long. If you manage to stay long enough (and are given the opportunity) to learn the full process then it could be quite rewarding. However, you are expected to work long hours, I was often coming in early and leaving late, yet still being told I was under working. There is a lot more I could write regarding the negatives about this company but it would make the review way too long, therefore I just want to say I do not recommend working here at all. It is seriously not worth the stress and toxicity you will encounter here. The VERY high staff turnaround at this place speaks a thousand words and I recommend that management take a good look at this and make some serious changes to the workplace unless you will loose everyone.

Pros

Some of the work can be interesting Chance to get experience if straight out of uni

Cons

The atmosphere in this company is absolutely toxic, the management is absolutely disgraceful and doesnt deserve the title of management. If you don't try to suck up and stroke their egos you wont get anywhere in the company; it's definitely a case of if your face fits, rather than rewarding hard work or knowledge. There is constant bullying and sly backstabbing behaviour; don't rely on a human resources department to help you as there isnt one to turn to. If you make any mistakes you don't get a second chance or even told about the mistake, you just get talked about behind your back and pushed away to do meaningless tasks which are completely pointless. Nothing is confidential, if you go to the managers with issues you can guarantee the whole company will know within the hour. They often make up stories and try to pit the staff against each other and there is plenty of passive aggressive emails that get sent out.

Pros

Interesting work and days are busy.

Cons

The most shocking experience I can imagine from a workplace. Management allow gossiping and bullying throughout the labs, mainly because they start it themselves. No HR department and mental health isn’t taken seriously. If something goes wrong management will make up a lie and find someone to blame and then punish them by giving them isolated or boring jobs. Inconsistent with promotions, some staff will get promoted before others depending on whether management like you at the time.
