Pros

Benefits and not much else.

Cons

limited capability of management. Most cost issues are met with a headcount reduction. This is not a company that builds employee loyalty, unless you are in the chosen few...grade VI and above. As a culture this company encourages mid managers to lead through intimidation and fear...LWS is an urban legend in this company on how mistreatment of a business and its employees was encouraged to make the bottom line look good. Data and more data used as an excuse not to act. This place is a repository of big egos who could not make a go of it at GE. Now they want to prove they should have gotten promoted where they used to work. If Thermo stopped buying other companies there would be no growth at all. This will all spiral out of control but not until a certain number of these vendors of corporate greed line their pockets with others money. How many American jobs can be moved abroad? Half of the corporate hot shots should be moved to Tijuana and have their salaries lowered to meet area standards. Oops, I forgot they need to be in Boston for the culture.

Pros

Good work/ life balance with a 9-80 program for most employees but you wont get away with working 80 hours. Benefits are comparable to companies of the same size.

Cons

Promotions are very scarce, performance evaluations and compensations are a joke. Under staffed, over worked, under appreciated is a way of life at Thermo. Be prepared to double your work load.
