Business Outlook

Pros

nice co-workers, good team work and spirit of helping each other

Cons

I worked at algo as a lab analyst, I had le part-time contract but I was working 50-60 hours a week. I didn't have time to see family memebers or have a life. The amount of work is huge and they harass analysts to do extra time and work during the week-ends. They don't have any Health and Safety Awareness taraining for analysts. They just use you and throw you away when you get harmed. They don't even inform analysts about the riks that theyare facing while doing their jobs (all kinds of tendinitis, peripharial neuropathy).
