Thermo Fisher Scientific reviews

They will lie to you, the managers will not have up to date information, the lines of communication are extremely bad and the workload is FREQUENTLY behind schedule because of management/task placement decisions and they will blame you for this. They hire management from outside and when I asked about internal promotions, I was told by the site manager that "Knowledge is great but it's not what we're looking for here, we need to bring in outside experience that have the right qualifications." Aka, my coworkers who had been there for 10+ years would never make management, but the guy they brought in from a French auto company gained unilateral control over the department and started making demands and useless context-less reprimands that didn't have anything to do with the current working issues, but demonstrated that he had the power. HR and other management would frequently gossip about the department with my coworkers and myself well within earshot, and one of my managers OFTEN googled how to get around FMLA and AWD on company computers in front of team members. Alongside this, they're actively demoting old leadership to make room for more external hires. It will SEEM fine, then 6 or 7 months in you're completely dead inside, and they've completely changed the rules you were hired on with and they're disrespecting you for going out of YOUR way doing extra side work you don't get paid for and aren't technically supposed to be doing. The SOPs have little reflection on actual work floor practices, and relying on them to hold management accountable to the rules will not stick. I don't know if I've ever been given so much corporate guff at a job and I wish I could rate members of my management individually.

very big company hard to see downstream outcomes
