Pluspunten
It's a small company, so you get the opportunity to wear many hats. When you begin, you are trained on everything you need to know to succeed -take notes. Eventually, at this level, if you are competent you are: training others, taking on multiple projects with various deadlines, writing reports, adhering to GLP, fixing instruments, etc. This is good to learn strong work ethic. People who support you will try their best to help in all groups-QA,QC Project management, R&D, etc. Celebrations are the time to relax, but other than that, you are grinding away to meet deadlines. The people you work with become good friends, so they make things tolerable.
Minpunten
Eventually, taking on these responsibilities can be draining with no foreseeable way of moving up the ladder with proper compensation. They will work you until you are dry. Hopefully, you have tried to learn as much as you can and will have moved on. Very high turnover, but management does nothing to address this issue.
