Pros

Freedom to work on different projects and am allowed to see how the actual R&D works, from an industry perspective

Cons

Not friendly and treated like an outsider. Very average cafeteria and no coffee place on campus - at least ten minute drive for good coffee and restaurants; bureaucratic management

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.
