Pros

There are many young, multicultural, fun people in all teams that make the work environment bearable and your time in Malta an adventure. The only other positive thing is that the work experience looks great on your CV.

Cons

AquaBioTech is the worst company I have ever worked dor. Their "management" and company structure was micromanagement at its best. During their interviews they'll promise you the world but once you start working and speaking to your colleagues you quickly realise that you're trapped in a limited time contract (usually a few years) where you can only get out if you pay a huge penalty. The company needs to use this to threaten employees because without it many people would not stay longer than a few weeks/months. Salaries were very low, bonuses didn't exist (we had to buy our own work phones) and extra hours were normal. There was no flexibility and trust, and the employee's mental health and wellbeing did not seem to be particularly important to AquaBioTech. The employee turnover was high and experience and knowledge level were very low because experienced professionals won't accept their salary and contract conditions.

Pros

A great diversity of people that share a common passion for the industry. Most of the people working there share common interests and soon enough become friends.

Cons

Long working hours can be exhausting.

Pros

The work was never boring and neither were the co-workers. Did a lot of traveling and having the opportunity to experience different cultures and learn many things on the way. It is a great stepping stone in your career.

Cons

The management is unable to understand that the employees are their biggest asset. Consequently they do not offer an environment where one could grow and stay with the company.
