Pros

Get exposure to working with tons of different instrumentation and techniques. The people.

Cons

Company only cares about the bottom line and the slightest downturn in business leads to layoffs (common in all TIC companies). Little room for advancement or promotion if you are good at what you do. You will stagnate in your role if you are good at what you do. No real chance for professional development. The company seems to selectively promote incompetent “yes men” into technical roles which they are grossly unqualified for nor capable of handling.... and these people are the face of our company when there is contact with clients.
