    Not for those with big ambition
    The good things-Good for fresh graduates, can learn alot for the first 2 years maybe. -No jealousy among colleagues as its a small organisation. -Colleagues are good, they help. If youre doing good job, they wont gossip about you. -Workwise no problem, you do your work, they treat you right. -Flexi time, you have your free time while waiting for analysis to complete.
    The challenges-Unclear jobscope -Since its a commercial lab, chances for you to climb career ladder is very restricted, they cant pay you much. -Once you're stuck here, not easy to leave. Difficult to get job in industries once you enter commercial lab. -The company pays very little salary. Or maybe all commercial labs pay little. -Inconsistent bonus/increment. It's a small lab so don't expect big annual dinners, gatherings, trips and all kinda fancy things. -This is the era of digitalisation but the company/boss/management is still 15 years behind. Very old school. -Salary slip is basically store bought hand written/printed receipt. -Lab consists of youngsters, no senior chemists to help. You learn on your own whether its right/ wrong. You wont even know whether you're doing the right as there is no-one to guide you.

    Good learning ground
    The good thingsCan learn a lot of things, empowerment to make judgement and voice out opinions. Continuously improve company system even it is slow.
    The challengesManagement system not working well, bad staff and good staff were treated almost equally. Directors responded slowly to the company matters, hard to implement new procedures.
