- Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
Driven Team and Comp are good
Cons
Life Work Balance can be a challenge
- Former Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
Innovative in numerous work experience opportunities with constant expansion.
Cons
Very demanding as the industry is 24/7 with many international clientele that require project management around the clock to keep up with volume.
Continue reading - Former Employee★★★★★
Pros
People are nice to work with.
Cons
Not a lot of room for growth
- Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
Management spends the extra time to listen and support the employees.
Cons
Need to invest in the resources/expertise to drive market strategy
Continue reading - Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
Very few exist. Good place to get experience spotting all the red flags, and seeing everything you don't want to.
Cons
Mandatory overtime, no working AC, lack of support from management, no concern over individual wellbeing. This place is all about the numbers and how much money they can make.
- Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
The people are helpful when you are starting off.
Cons
Very mundane when it is slow, but when it is busy there's a lot going on at once so you are doing multiple tasks at the same time and running around everywhere, and everyone else is busy too so there isn't going to be much help from others as well.
- Former Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
- Big company (if you consider that pros) - Good work life balance for my role
Cons
- Benefits are not great - Pay is below average - Poor management from Senior leadership team
- Former Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Good salary, good team, overtime pay, ok benefits
Cons
No mobility, bad work life balance
Continue reading - Former Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
Nice people, fast paced work, benefits are ok, good starter job for chemistry grads. So much potential to be a great lab if management would invest in some money into the facility, equipment and IT.
Cons
Old equipment in some departments, hard to move around to learn new positions, employee turnover, LIMS and network could be better.
