Pros

Good work life balance. You can take care of your family very well. Managers and vps are generally nice.. Good 401 k match, Good PTO. Immigrant friendly..

Cons

Bases and bonuses are really low in the bay area. Therm fisher does not care about the employee turn over rate at all. Most of people stay in this company for years just because they can not find another jobs. .the skills you learn from your position would not benefit much your next job-hunting. Career development does not exist. Most employees here are extremely dissatisfied about their current status. Metric boards are totally wasting money and time. You can come if all you need is a paycheck..

Pros

There is always something changing, so if there is something you want to do, most likely you can do it in a way that you think is best. If you can stand the negativity of your fellow employees, Thermo gives you freedom to test yourself. Employees have a sense of pride and strong brand loyalty to their products.

Cons

For company that has so many mergers, communication of strategy is poor. Grand growth plan is ambitious and most likely achievable, but it's not worth it at the expense of employee moral. You see people come and go, and key changes are slow to happen, and talented employees get burned out. Overall, more disappointments than excitement. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND Thermo to a friend.
