Pros

Salary and benefits were decent, talented employees in non-managerial, non-leadership roles

Cons

Thermo Scientific's acquisition-based business model results in a management structure that consists of accountants and lawyers instead of technology savey leaders. This results in a growth strategy which does not focus on or reward for contributions through internal product development. Acquired companies are rapidly reorganized with new leadership that reflects the overall management philosophy of Thermo Scientific resulting in a technically below-par staff replacing qualified above-par staff. Product sales strategy emphasizes low consumer pricing rather than product quality.
