Pros

Lab based colleagues are nice Location is good

Cons

Trained staff are leaving almost weekly so little experience remains. No technical leadership - site leadership is just interested in revenue. Very high stress because timelines are too short to do a decent job. Poor pay (graduate salaries even though you have years of experience). Scientists don’t feel valued. Equipment operating at full capacity with breakdowns common. Inexperience of project leaders is painfully obvious. No clear plan for the future of the company.

Pros

Site capabilities and scientific personnel in the US are world-class.

Cons

Sales management is more concerned with 'covering their 6' than effectively managing a talented sales team to success. Upper management is focused on selling the business. Poor front-line moral of scientists and key personnel.
