Pros

brand image, perks, additional benefits.

Cons

no growth after manager, tls. assessment system for band 5 to band 4, which is pre decided, stop assesement or bring panel from outside,inside panel not competent and decide on basis of liking. Basel HR should look into this. DSAI people are promoted to band 3 from band 4 without assessment, within a year without showing any work. tls and managers stuck in same position for 4+ years. positions open in brassring for only a night to make selected people apply into it, no criterion. US BA GH takes no interest in development of people.

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.
