Thank you for sharing your experience as a current colleague at our Burlington site, and for the positive recognition of our benefits and work-life balance. We hear your comments on organizational silos and career path clarity. Navigating a large and complex global organization of our scale and history can sometimes make it harder to see the full picture of where your career can go. We are actively working on further reducing silos and improving cross-functional visibility. On career development, we encourage you to explore the opportunities available through our MyGrowth platform, which is designed to help employees identify growth paths, development assignments, and new opportunities across the organization — including temporary or permanent moves into different teams or functions that may not always be immediately visible from within your current role. We also invite you to share your perspective through our annual Employee Engagement Survey, where input like yours helps shape how we evolve our ways of working and career development frameworks. Thank you for your continued contribution — we hope your journey with us continues to grow in the direction you aspire to!

Pros

Great benefits, there’s flexibility when you need it, and the’s a significant amount of PTO. There is a lot of growth and development opportunities, as in learning new skills or strengthening skills.

Cons

There is a lot of restructuring happening, which often results in teams having to do the work of many without being compensated appropriately. This results in longer days, burn out, and feeling undervalued. There is a lot of encouragement for growth, but the actual growth/promotion part doesn’t seem to happen from leadership side. There is a lot of room for process improvements but too many teams work in silos and don’t want to work together so processes don’t get improved.

Thank you for sharing your experience, and for your continued commitment to MilliporeSigma over more than three years. We are glad that the benefits, flexibility, PTO, and learning opportunities have been meaningful to you. We are sorry that recent changes have affected your day-to-day experience. As a company with a long-term perspective and a strong sense of responsibility towards our people, organizational changes are never taken lightly. We are mindful that the impact on workload and team dynamics can feel significant at an individual level, and we understand that the experience on the ground does not always reflect the full picture of what those decisions are intended to achieve. Your points about career development follow-through and cross-team collaboration are noted, and we continue to work on improving how we support employees through change, how we deliver on development commitments, and how we enable better ways of working across teams. As a current employee, we would encourage you to share your experience through our Employee Engagement Survey, as your input directly helps shape the priorities we focus on.
