Pros

Great benefits, pay, and wonderful culture of empowerment! Senior leadership is highly visible and openly supportive. Great pipeline and vision that is clear and actionable.

Cons

Poor work-life balance and “always on” culture is difficult to manage. Decision making can be slow due to need for consensus and constant “vetting”. Highly matrixed which is in some respects very positive but leads to uncertainty related to accountability.

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.
