Excellent learning curve

I work more than 8 hours everyday. Doing laboratory work, experiments, Sample analysis, and many more. I work very well with my colleagues, I enjoy working in teams and also independently. The most challenging part is not having enough facility for the characterization of work done in the lab. I mostly enjoy the team spirit always portrayed! the support from supervisors and colleagues and the work ethic.

Pros: Learning curve
Cons: No growth
