Pros

Emerging tech company. Working with some of the best and brightest people within the scientific community. Working with emerging customers and being part of that process is rewarding.

Cons

Working for a preceived distrubutor. Too many companies merged and aquired without the same culture transer.

Pros

I worked on the IT side of the business, in a separate building about 4 miles away from the main offices. Although my commute was about an hour each way it was more convenient than having to drive all the way to the main office in heavy traffic. And that's literally the BEST thing I can say about the company.

Cons

The atmosphere at the company was extremely depressing. Although I worked in IT and had experience working on a help desk, I was relegated to what I likened to a Laverne And Shirley episode....Screwing the bottle caps on beer bottles all day. Complete drudgery doesn't even BEGIN to describe the work day. I literally started looking for another job about a month after I started there, and ended up leaving (a full time job with benefits!) for a 6 month contract job because I wanted to retain my sanity. My co-workers were about as dull and unimaginative as any I have ever worked with with 1 exception. It was like working with robots - no personalities, no room for suggestion, no imagination. Just toe the company line and keep plugging away.
