Pros

Free access to a lot of learning portals.

Cons

Work timings are pretty off, especially if you are working for a US team. Clients can set up a meeting anytime post midnight also. Hike in compensation is much below the post-covid industry standards. Work is monotonous and non exciting. Exit procedure is non negotiable and suffocating. Hundreds of colleagues who have left are facing challenges with their FFS, the company doesn't care and leaves no stone unturned to make your exit a horrible experience.

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.
