Pros

Work life balance State of art campus Good pay

Cons

There are more managers than analysts and senior analysts. They are reluctant to work and entire workload is on the limited analysts in the team. Worst IT infrastructure Company is only good for pharma people. If you are coming for any technical role, please stay away. There is limited to no support people. Since all the managers and GHs are from pharma background, they won’t understand the work techical people do. Lastly favouritism is at peaks. Your work doesn’t matter during appraisals. Only managers puppets are rewarded well

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.
