Excellent growth path
-I enjoy working with people I am working with.it is a friendly and fun atmosphere and I am actually enjoying going to work every morning. The leadership team is great as well, they know all of their employees and they try to make those personal connections. I also enjoy the fact that the offices do community outreach with other companies (VCT). One of the reason I want to leave is that I feel am not challenged enough with my current position. The company offers a great opportunity for a good entry level position; however after being there for so many years, I am not being able to reach my full potential because of lack of challenge. I enjoy working there and I appreciate the skills I have developed with the company and I fell my skill set can be utilized elsewhere, where my capabilities are more recognised and there is opportunity for growth.
Pros: great opportunity for learning
Cons: working at different clinics

Very good experience gained, skills developed.
Pleasant surroundings, enjoy studying malaria, and learning new techniques. Enjoy working independently but also in a team. Challenging aspects is to improve the necessary communication channels, and find a strategy to which people will commit to work together. Enjoy selling my ideas to the team, and win them over. Good relationship with everybody. Somewhat flexible hours which is convenient, since I travel far. I enjoy report writing and presenting my data. I have learnt that I can manage to do anything that come across my way, be it administration, projects, finance, laboratory work, forming new working relationships, and at all times to retain my value system.
Pros: Scientific development, and team work , get opportunities to work independently also which is satisfying.
Cons: No benefits like pension and the salary is not very high.

There is no back up structure, creating burn out for a lot of employees.
I could be the only one who arrives, working the whole day. Typically trouble shooting infrastructure/ building related issues. I would also have to deal with external stakeholders telephonically and via email. Also have to receive stakeholders should the request to visit offices.
Pros: Closer to home
Cons: Work extra and no compensation

Pros: Opportunities of study
Cons: Redandant portfolios

Nice place to work depending on the syndicate that one is in.
Generally nice place to work if you are a self starter and self motivated. Each syndicate may have a different work culture but my unit promotes growth as an independent researcher but that requires raising funds through new research ideas for proposals and research publications.
Pros: Flexible contract
Cons: Soft funded industry
