Pros

Interesting and varied chemistry. Opportunity to use and learn many chemistry techniques, reactions and equipment

Cons

Terrible salary. 50k for honours, 60k for PhD. Unreasonable expectations, with compulsory unpaid overtime and no perks to job. Questionable safety and general practices. Narcissistic owner which will belittle, gaslight, and go looking things to complain about if you get on their bad side. Often takes out his frustrations on staff, and will make a spectacle out of small mistakes, sometimes as far as publicly shaming individuals.

Pros

Some of the support staff could be kind at times. Very quiet.

Cons

The business only has around 10 employees and the owner will micromanage absolutely every aspect of the business to within an inch of its life. The only time I felt as though I could breathe was when he wasn't there. He called a group meeting because somebody moved a stapler and I was reprimanded twice for moving a roll of glad wrap. I've never seen somebody with so little trust for their employees who are all extremely highly educated. At one point he literally attempted to ban any non work-related conversation in the laboratory. Never have I been made to feel so unsupported or small in my life. I would not wish this place on my worst enemy.

Pros

- Interesting chemistry, sometimes. - All the staff are great, and (trauma) bond over their abusive experiences with the boss/owner. - The boss is extremely smart, and you will certainly learn things about organic chemistry.

Cons

- Zero career growth. There are two levels of people at this company, the boss/owner (Seb) at the top, and everyone else below who gets zero respect. - Expected overtime. You will work 40 hours a week expected on paper, but there are many, many more hours expected off-paper. If you don't do them, the boss will turn your life into a living hell. - Insane laboratory rules that don't follow logic and will often leave you actually in danger (for example, taking your gloves off to touch literally anything in the lab that isn't in a fume-hood, and even things in the fume-hood such as stirring plates). Basically, obsessive-compulsive disorder issues permeate the lab and will make your life hell. - Zero respect from the boss. Do you see all the other Glassdoor posts? Well, I seen them before I took the job too, and ignored them and thought "how bad could it be?". Well, I am telling you. Its that bad. Look elsewhere. There is a revolving door of employees here. Most last between 3-6 months. Your will suffer mentally here. The owner has broken many good chemists, many wind up with depression and anxiety issues. Others literally rage quit before it gets that far. Seriously, do not underestimate my words.
