Pros

Good work/life balance. Fair benefits. Low stress environment. Company seems to be on a move and overall morale is high compared to the rest of the SIlicon Valley. Well diversified portfolio of products make it resistant to ups and downs of the rest of the economy

Cons

Not much excitement. If you are used to working in a fast paced environment you will suffocate here. Lots of bueaucracy and metrics. Takes more time to comply with all the process requirements than to do actual work.

Pros

The company produces instrument of high technology. It offer more vacations than the average company but you need to use them if your are sick (no sick days). Some site offer flextime. There is no sense of urgency at Thermo, resulting in less stress. As long as you do the minimum they'll keep you and you'll get the same treatment as the ones that work twice as much!

Cons

Salary, communications. Each site is different. It's not One Thermo yet. Two classes - Managers - Other employees. No pension plan or profit sharing.
