Pros

The company itself is not that bad, their products are actually good, but this location is a major red flag, the only good thing about it is that you get paid to do almost nothing all day, put the pay s very low

Cons

toxic environment, full of gossip, bullying, etc. pretty low salary, there is not enough work to be done in your 8 hour shift, resulting in employees messing around and gossiping the whole day, however if you chose not to participate in that they will shun you and make you a topic of the gossip, so very toxic, no flexibility, majority of the work can be done from home, however they don't allow hybrid work.

Pros

The job is not too difficult. You mainly work on your own, Pay and benefits are outstanding.

Cons

12 hour shifts. Only one tech per shift so vacations can be a bit dicey. Support from peers is low and there is a lot of back biting in the lab. Sometimes they seem to be lookng for a scapegoat.
