Generally positive, but overemphasis on growth by acquisition - Anonymous employee PerkinElmer Employee Review

Too much management, not enough leadership. There is a disconnect between grunts and upper management, with the people in between being inadequate conduits (partially because upper management seems to be fickle and has high turnover). Growth and change is very slow moving. Upper management appears to have little faith in employees as they're EXTREMELY risk averse with in-house work. On the other hand, they'll take all kinds of risks for growth by acquisition.
