Pros

Stable company with established workflows, good exposure to molecular diagnostics, and an opportunity to gain experience in a high-throughput clinical laboratory environment.

Cons

Career growth opportunities are limited, and advancement can feel dependent on internal relationships rather than performance or qualifications. The workload is demanding and can become physically and mentally exhausting. In addition, some line managers could benefit from stronger leadership training, better technical understanding, and more consistent decision-making. Staffing and hiring practices also need improvement, as team fit and competency are not always assessed effectively.

Pros

• You’ll learn quickly because you’re forced to take on more than your role • Good exposure to different tools and systems • Team members themselves are solid and easy to get along with

Cons

• Pay is well below market value, especially considering the workload for a service desk tech. Leadership is aware of the gap but there’s no intention of ever addressing it. • Disorganized environment with little structure or consistency • Management can be reactive and lacking clear direction • Growth is limited, even if you’re taking on work well beyond your level • Unclear expectations around ownership of duties • Processes are often inefficient or not well thought out • Could easily be a hybrid/WFH role, but management insists on fully on-site work without a clear reason
