Pros

Insurance is good and some workers are good to work with.

Cons

Horrible desicion making and some supervisors rather be tyrants then be respectful or to listen to employee opinions. Leads are stuck on stupid and have no knowledge of the workplace and spend more time talking about other employees flaws then to rather fix them. It's shamfull that employees no more than the lead. Brownosing will get you far in this company and not being noticed for your hard work.

Pros

Positives include-Competitve pay, good benefits and lots of working capital. In addition, because of the size of the company there is good possibility to move around within the company.

Cons

Upper management is very difficult to "break into" from the lower ranks in the company. While there are examples of promotions to VP, the typical mode is to hire from the outside. There's alot of talk about growing/developing employees, but the reality is not there.

Pros

Thermo Fisher Scientific is a great company to work for if you are seeking a job function with a narrow job function. There is plenty of opportunity for high potential employees to hone their business skills and capabilities.

Cons

This is not the company to work or if you like to wear a lot of hats. Also, the pyramid can get farily narrow past mid-management positions and it may be difficult to get promoted from within to a higher band position.
