      Systemic workplace bullying problems badly need to be addressed.

      Pros

      Good to gain some early career experience and then move on.

      Cons

      Mobbing seems to be the soup du jour. Mid-level management is often manipulated or well-meaning but clueless. HR finds “no problem” on an individual basis, but of course bullies are not stupid enough to get their hands dirty. However, when multiple people resign or or fired over a few years and the problem continues when the “troublemaker” is gone, it’s time to consider that there is a broader problem. Perhaps the manager’s favorite has an agenda?

      Pros

      Great benefits, bonus. Salary structure is on par with the industry. Flexible work schedule.

      Cons

      The IT organization is dysfunctional. The shared services infrastructure organization is grossly under staffed to the point of negligence. There is a "good old boys" network in Carlsbad that targets any IT employees that are not a part of their "network". Systematically, all of the legacy Thermo Fisher IT leadership have been replaced or forced out of the organization and unless you are a legacy Life Science employee, you will not be successful and will be targeted. The ratio of female to male IT leadership is only 15% so if you're not male, don't expect to have any future within the organization.

      They expect too much for too little pay

      Pros

      Great benefits package, and the employees are amazing.

      Cons

      Mandatory overtime, non mandatory overtime(guilted), and high pressure. They also pay women and men differently. If you are a woman it is hard to move into management with current site leadership. Young men are promoted over more experienced and qualified women.
