I worked in QC at morris plains back in 2020. it was a decent job in terms of pay. was super easy. worked 4 days on 3 days off. i'd say that was the best part, the work life balance. Worst part was the tolerance of laziness and people who didn't work hard. people would constantly come in very late. We all had to run and review tests and the same people would come in an hour late everyday and just by doing that, they would have almost 1/3 - 1/4 less of the work load as the people that came in on time. I'd raise it up to the managers and they wouldn't do anything. Too coporate, couldnd't hurt anyone's feelings. Also, there was quite a bit of anti-white amongst the more "diverse" workers. I imagine thats how most coporate jobs are where the employees are college educated millenials.

in addition, the company had a super lenient sick day policy. Unlimited sick days! Just about everyone abused this policy. Especially the girls. And then when covid happened, the company was making people stay home for 14 days if you went on vacation to a state like florida or montana. some people got 4 weeks of home quarantine because of this policy. Basically, its just a super soft, pro-feminine coporate environment. If you're a "dude" beware.

I just finished my PhD at a very good uni with 3 years technician experience before that. BSc and MSc also at very good unis with good grades.

I think this offer is well below par, but curious to hear what you guys think/if you have any comparisons?
