Pros

Lots of room for advancement within the organization. This is a large global company with many groups and divisions that make up the organization. They pay the sales team well (but expect a lot out of you at the same time). The company has great values, great people and great products.

Cons

Lots of political red tape when you try to get things done. I have seen plans made, lots of effort put fourth towards those plans, and then things change at the drop of a hat. Things are always evolving and changing, so be prepared for a dynamic environment. Often times, you will also find different divisions of Thermo Fisher competing against one another for the same business. This results in lots of wasted time and frustration.

Pros

If you're stuck in the Greenville area for some unfortunate reason, it's a job.

Cons

This place is functionally a mafia. The same rotating cast of "old head" people that have been at the site for decades watches each other's backs, and overworks everyone else. God help you if you're actually capable or smart, because they will overload you as much as possible, while ensuring that they, and their pals, do as little as possible. They really have no concept of capacity management at all. There is no math, metrics, or even mild logic that goes in to how they define R&R or distribute work. No one really knows how to do anything at all. Things that sound simple, like shipping a sample for instance.. Well, clear your afternoon. It doesn't help that all of their systems are completely antiquated. I should also note that you won't get any support on anything really, from training to execution. No one wants to be here, and it's so obvious. The place looks and feels like a prison because it is. It doesn't even pay that well compared to other pharma companies! That barbed wire isn't there to keep people out, it's to keep them in.
