Pros

It's a very humane corporation. In my area it has one of the best, if not the best, compensation packages. The projects the company have are very interesting and it is a very dynamic ecosystem.

Cons

Change management is not as good one would expect; the company is always trying to re-invent the wheel and sometimes I feel like walking on eggshells. Over the past five years I feel it is the company that had the largest rotation of personnel in the industry and that makes it difficult to imagine a future in it.

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.
