Pros

They are an expanding company so they will be hiring more in the future. Pay is competitive.

Cons

Management loves to congraduate each other on a job well done while placing the pressure on everyone below them. Expect minimal training and then asked why you haven't mastered your tasks. Company is not invested in employees, just covering up mistakes as they occur and barely reaching goals. Everyone loves to talk about themselves and expect them to chat your ears off, often not very engaging or care about you at all. Plans will be made to "help you transition into your role" but never executed. Don't expect them to keep their word.

Pros

The job was relatively low stress with flexible hours. Coworkers were all very helpful when I first started, especially since this was my first job.

Cons

The end of the month rush to meet revenue goals is stressful and not always well executed. This job becomes routine and mundane very quickly as you run the same experiments over and over. The salary is not very competitive and there is little room for advancement.

Pros

This company is the most forgiving company I have ever worked for, however that comes with a very high price and a permanent bull's eye on your back when it comes to promotions, respect, etc. However, as a start in the industry it is a pro, but the culture and dynamics of the company will not retain the talents they wish to retain.

Cons

In my opinion, this company lacks diversity, communication, professionalism, and most of the managers should not be holding their positions. There's no managerial training to assist them with their lack of skills (soft and hard skills), so it often goes unattended and employees are intimidated by them and will not speak up. Their dubious task of changing culture will remain futile until they identify the real issues, and unfortunately these issues stem from some of the long time employees that are very resistant to change and their loyalty is their entitlement to do whatever the heck they choose to do.
