Pros

The low level staff are super friendly and the only good thing about this company

Cons

The company was founded in the 1930's and judging by the attitude of management they haven't left this era. Expect zero support, lots of bullying, intimidation and derogatory comments. Management have no inter personal skills. You are given the absolute basic training and then expected to perform complex tasks with no support and then actually shouted at when you make mistakes. They refuse to help you improve. The management actually tell you to stop trying to improve your job to make it easier. There is a culture of pressuring you into working longer than you need to and when you highlight business practices that are unethical, you are told that you are offending them and instead of thanking you and changing their practices they turn it on you, insult you, accuse you of being at fault and generally treat you like a piece of rubbish. You are treated by your job title only, not as a human being. They use computer programmes that are 30 years old and you are not allowed to criticise them or suggest improvements. Management have no interest in letting you make your role more efficient. You receive no backup when you get push back from other departments. This is definitely the worst company to work for. HR supports the managers and does not want to get involved when you have issues that require their intervention. Do not waste your time applying here. You will regret it

Pros

Company is dealing with organized customer will feel good while working in field you will be dealing with customer, as most of them are Scientist & Lab analysis, also many Government customers are there in which most of the people you deal are mostly highly qualified like, Scientist Lab analysis also feel good as your behavior get change drastically when you deal with such good people for a longer time, mostly we are manufacturer & service provider of Analytical instrument and potential customer are really organized, I worked for more than 4 years really had very good time dealing with customer issues and solving them while on field

Cons

Irrespective of having such a wonderful customer database Management is really pathetic, they really lack the sense of understanding customer issues & their grievances more over the labor turn over is very high and company not putting any efforts on retrieving the staff, they have started losing their best of best employees by not taking care of issue which they are facing in daily work life, small issues are not getting resolved on time , and involving upper management for resolving small small issue due to which more time is getting consumed and results are getting delayed, new employess having lack of information about the company and are taking the wrong dession .. due to which quality of services are degrading day by day .. PerkinElmer call them self as sleeping giant really they are, and when they woke up they might realize their over confidance has really killed themself. hope someday latter better management may come & will think about doing good for the company and for its growth and success.
