Pros

Good reputed company to work for Good upper management(I definitely had one of the few best manager I had so far) Easy going environment, as far as work is done

Cons

If you know how to pretend(you know everything) you are good. Stereotype people. Lab supervisors and senior people bit lazy and manipulative. Never seen a company let go so many employees in my whole career so far. Low pay and yearly raise if any.
