Business Outlook

Pros

If you need to get some experience out of college, this could be the place for you. But you will be constantly overworked , and will not have a work-life balance. Also, if you are a PhD, you will be performing mostly jobs suited for technicians, regardless of what your job description says. And you will be writing reports over reports, then spending time in countless meetings. Besides this, you will still be expected to do an 8 hour work in the remaining 1-2 hours of your official workday (hence you will have to spend long hours overtime). The team is knowledgeable and you will be able to learn skills that will propel you to your next phase of your career, but do not expect that you will be working here more then 2 years.

Cons

It is a madhouse, the turn-over rate is about 85%, so you will constantly need to work your butt off, just to maintain yourself above the sinking level. The CEO is only interested in his own bonus, does not give a hoot about any of the employees regardless at what level below him. Also, he does not care if even the best of the employees will leave, this contributing to the very high turnover rate. Although compensation seems competitive at first look, keep in mind that you will be required to work at least 1.5 times more then what should be the norm, and with that in mind, the compensation is way below average. This because somebody is always quitting their job, and that adds a lot of strain to the teams. If you like working 10-12 hour days with not much support or help, in a constantly changing environment where you will be the required to do a lot with very little, then this is the place for you. Otherwise: run fast, run far.
