Pros
The equipment was functional and the facility was well maintained.
Cons
Three months in and I realized the turnover was the problem nobody wanted to acknowledge. People would join, get ramped up, and leave within a year, and I'd watch whoever was managing things just accept it like it was inevitable. It felt like spinning my wheels while watching good colleagues get frustrated and move on to places with actual stability. My own motivation kind of eroded watching the department get repopulated again and again with people who had no reason to believe things would be different. By the time I left I'd stopped bothering to get to know new team members because I knew I wouldn't see them again in six months. The whole thing just broke something in me about wanting to stay.
