Pros
Free lunches/snacks , new facility, and plenty of parking.
Cons
Management is so poor when the laboratory first opened the first wave of lab staff quit. When I first joined I assumed this story was an over exaggeration but it turns out the CEO was that rude and unprofessional with the staff. This time around it is a combination of all upper management (CEO, R&D manager, & HR) that is driving out the staff. Auxiliary staff such as the PM and facilities coordinator is so hard to work with and they get away with being mediocre because there is no oversight on their positions. Why would you hire people like this? The place would not be so bad if the staff was treated like working professionals but its very obvious how little they think of us. Perhaps it's the demands coming from China HQ that is pushing upper management to be like this. Whatever the case is- it should not be normal to treat employees like children. To top it off the R&D being done at this company is a joke. Money is being spent so unwisely. We need sterile equipment that is crucial to our work and all we can buy is a small autoclave that does not have a self drying feature? That defeats the purpose! But somehow we can afford a corny commercial that took up a whole day of the staffs work? We need experience managers that can make the right decisions for purchasing. I can't believe this lab has such little resources but we are expected to throw out results when we don't have the correct equipment. Expect over time- there is no resources for your experiments and research so you'll be in the lab trying to complete tasks in vain.
