Pros

Pay gets better with time if there's work

Cons

Long process to get to actually do your job, spend months doing entry level jobs like sample catching, managers ask for more communication then don't reply when you communicate.

Pros

The company offers a solid compensation package with a salary that is slightly on par with market rates and decent insurance coverage for both employees and their dependents. The work environment is positive, with a collaborative team and supportive managers who foster a healthy culture. There's also the benefit of global exposure and flexibility, including well-provided work-from-home facilities like monitors, desks, chairs, and peripherals.

Cons

Work-life balance is moderately maintained, although it can be impacted during peak times due to a hiring freeze, which sometimes leads to work overload. Career progression tends to be slow, and promotions or salary increments happen only once every 2-3 years, depending on market conditions.
