Pros

OK pension and holidays. My experience as a Biochemist helped me get another job elsewhere.

Cons

SGS culture is to double targets, not get involved then each site is left alone to try to make money to pump into the fatcats in Geneva. The managers of the Biochemstry and Chemistry sections were in place for years simply because they were there the longest. They were psycopath and incompetant yes-man, repsectively. Very high staff turnover and the Wokingham site was the leper of SGS.
