Vantaggi
I had friendly co-workers who worked at the same level as me. There was a decent salary and bonses for entry-level positions and I was able to gain a lot of experience very quickly due to the demanding role which was good on my CV.
Svantaggi
The organisation felt chaotic and this resulted in a very stressful environment for many of the employees. The direction of the company would shift very quickly, as though there was no clear vision or goal, which meant our workload would vary drastically day-to-day creating a lot of pressure and demanding a lot of the staff. People were hired and then fired or let go at a very fast rate which caused a lot of upheaval for everyone. The laboratories, offices and IT systems were disorganised as a result. Many managers had little training or experience, although they tried their best, it could make the environment quite toxic at times and negatively impacted people working at the company.
