Pros

Lovely people, interesting work, good bike storage, many staff with outstanding expertise and willing to share this. Cheap-ish cafeteria at the Teddington site, although the food isn't flash (and the coffee is terrible).

Cons

Management are extremely commercially focussed. They have the information they need to make good decisions but instead tend to ignore operational staff and compliance requirements. It makes for a frustrating and unnecessarily stressful environment to work in. Very low pay compared to other opportunities available in life sciences.

Pros

Average pay for the area. Very good health benefits (low premium) and okay work life balance. Coworkers fairly chill with the one or two toxic person. Opportunities to cross train and learn new skills if that is your desire.

Cons

Workload uneven between shifts depending on shifting prioritizations on batches. Dead end, no route for career advancement. Cross training is a stopgap measure to cover for department personnel shortages.
