Pros

An organization that is nice to have on your CV with many internal opportunities, great benefits, and inclusion. The Basel campus especially is great and absolutely amazing to work there.

Cons

Very big organization with lots of bureaucracy. That can be counterproductive especially during periods with many due dates that require alignment with different key stakeholders among the organization. Additionally, lots of work with very tight deadlines

Pros

Pays pretty well in comparison to similar jobs in the market

Cons

Unstable schedule where you are often asked to come in overnight (1-2 am) regardless of if you have worked the previous day or are off. Basically feels like you're permanently on-call to conduct environmental monitoring. Training is slow. The Micro dept in general is currently understaffed. The job also involves lab work once you are done with your daily environmental monitoring tasks. The work never ceases and the Technicians as a whole has several responsibilities. Promotions seem to come very slowly here.
