Toxic Work Environment and Damaging Culture At Play within Talent Acquisition - Anonymous employee Thermo Fisher Scientific Employee Review

If you've ever worked for a company with politics at play, you'll know exactly what I am going to say before I say it. Politics eroded and destroyed the high-performing and trusting TA team I was part of within a few years time. It was mostly the doing of one particularly toxic and unfortunate leader, however when leader with these traits are empowered, the rest is history. The leadership of this team have a few blind spots and a survival instinct. . When added together, this combination left members of the team unsupported and craving a leader who had their back. I am a firm believer that open and honest communication can soften any news. I also believe that the integrity of the people that you work for matter. I found myself missing these things tremendously at Thermo Fisher. The only exception is when the project you are leading is a priority for the business. When that is the case, you'll be treated well, and moderately rewarded. But when your high priority project is over, so are you. There are so many opportunities right now, don't waste your time on Thermo Fisher. If you do take a chance on them, use it for everything it's worth so you don't look back and regret it. I do not regret my time with the company, but being on the other side really puts into perspective how toxic and unhealthy the last 2 years were.
