Pros
- Plenty of learning activities & supports career growth - Supports sponsorships for conferences & any certifications that are beneficial to both company & the employee - Great team environment & work directly with PhD & MS degree holders - Senior management has an open door policy and is responsive. Reachable to everyone - Flexible hours as long as you are getting your work done - They do pay overtime for hourly employees - Frequent team lunches, birthday parties & other things - Customer centric environment & support the shipping sector through thick and thin - Lots of learning about heavy machinery and very passionate about marine engines - Very productive lab environment with lot of automated equipment to learn
Cons
- Ships operate on a 24/7/365 day schedule and the ship crew count on the lab to provide them results in time and hence there is a need for timely deliverables which may put some stress at times. - Evening shifts are manned by minimal crew (1 or 2 persons) and sometimes it get a bit weird but there are cameras for the safety of the team
