It's fine to start out your career. Don't stay too long.
Pros
Flexibility - but that depends on if have one of the good managers. And you'll get paid on time....hopefully. Coworkers on your level are friendly...for the most part. That's it.
Cons
Diversity is non-existent from department managers up to senior management. Sr management have programs in place to make it seem like they care about it, but it's all for PR. Lack of career growth and no clear pathway to progress. You will stagnate for years in one position getting the same pay while insreasingly having more workload and responsibilities (and other people's jobs) thrown at you. Empty promises from management. Pay is way too low for the kind of work that is performed. Especially given that it's specialized skills that is required to perform the jobs at hand. Toxic work environment in some departments. Some people work out of fear and the supervisor and manager treats them like they are garbage. It's clear management doesn't care about their current employees, rather they are focused on acquiring other labs and expanding the business that way. They have bonuses set up for employees but in order to achieve this you have to overwork yourself to surpass the budget, then the bonus is not even enough for a family dinner. Again, PR move by management.
