Pros

They’ll accept anyone. You don’t need a science degree to work here. Put in a fair amount of effort getting people trained

Cons

There’s no emphasis on doing anything “scientific”. It’s all profit based. The pay is low for comparable positions. You can design experiments/methods in the method development/validation department and get told they’re “too scientific” because the QA department doesn’t understand them. No work/life balance. Promotions are only based on tenure, not performance. You’ll perform at two levels above your position just for a 3% raise at the end of the year and no promotion.

Pros

Flexible hours. Reasonably easy to switch teams.

Cons

Changed working from home policy after Thermo Fisher acquisition to force employees to work in the office. Even jobs that can be fully remote. Removed policy that allowed employees to roll over excess PTO to next year. Changed policy around how much PTO is earned. It is not significantly less for new employees. Promotions after a certain point don't happen. They force you to apply for the next role and go through an interview process. Would rather give bonuses instead of pay raises. Pay is less than companies in area. Opportunities are heavily dependent on the group and supervisor. Company puts individuals in leadership roles without training or experience. This negativity impacts the experience of the employees.
