Pros

People you work with in the lab are great to work with. You will learn how to balance mass amounts of work loads with few resources. Benefits are good.

Cons

During winter I didn't see the sun in 4 days.. 12 hour shifts are wretched along with the weekend work. Equipment is very poor and lab is extremely small without any Windows! Very depressing place to work if you were looking to work outdoors after college.

Pros

My early experience at the company was positive and I was able to build strong tenure there.

Cons

I worked here for several years, but my experience changed significantly toward the end of my tenure. During my notice period, previously approved time off was not honored, and my departure schedule was adjusted in a way that felt inconsistent with prior approvals. Despite preparing coverage and training for my responsibilities, I was later described as leaving my team “high and dry.” There was also a shift toward a more structured, closely managed environment, along with a return-to-office policy that was applied differently across employees. It was a reminder that the end of an employee’s experience often reflects the culture just as much as the beginning.
