Pros

1. Dedicated and tireless individual contributors, 2. Exciting development projects, 3. Opportunities for inspiring and challenging work that may benefit patients

Cons

1. Significant loss of talent due to restructuring and off-shoring to cheaper locales, 2. Over-zealous interest of senior leadership in AI (structurally not capable of (nor built to) contextualize output), 3. Leadership approach to controlling for patent cliff is "leaning" organization to a perilously close inability to function and pinching its workforce to stabilize the stock price.

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.
