Pros

International work environment and at least in Amsterdam good salary and package

Cons

Hire and fire mentality - depending on where you signed your contract (meaning depending which legal protection you have) more or less unfair

Pros

The job is not too difficult. You mainly work on your own, Pay and benefits are outstanding.

Cons

12 hour shifts. Only one tech per shift so vacations can be a bit dicey. Support from peers is low and there is a lot of back biting in the lab. Sometimes they seem to be lookng for a scapegoat.
