      (Was) an Innovative & progressive great place to work....( Now) avoid at all costs

      Pros

      A long history of fantastic and innovative products and services to the science and technology markets. Very hardworking, talented and diligent employees (not leaders)

      Cons

      Last 3 years company has deteriorated, having been taken over by Sr leadership whom short sighted strategies employed are for personal share option gain. Operations leadership has been taken over shamelessly by a GE person and pushed down through the organisation a culture of bullying and fear, employing Sr leaders from GE that provide no long term vision or strategy that have destroyed procurement for example and removed talented and knowledgeable personnel who only have the best interests of the company at heart. To any prospective personnel thinking of joining PKI avoid at all costs (especially in corporate procurement)

      Pros

      Salary on time, flexible timings, work pressure is not much, Many functions work like government departments

      Cons

      Its a MNC with Indian lala company culture. You get growth if you are in good books of certain departments.

      Pros

      There are some really great, hardworking and dedicated mid-low level staff. The office in Melbourne is in a convenient location.

      Cons

      This place used to be fantastic. The restructure last year was handled so poorly- Management have no idea how to retain good staff or boost morale. It's all about numbers now! Staff are not replaced and incompetent staff seem to get awarded with promotions, to the expense of those left behind that have to pick up the slack. The yearly perfomance reviews are a joke! Promises are made and plans discussed for growth and improvement, but they are never actioned. The first 4 years were great and then it all began to go downhill. I left because I was underpaid, overworked and extremly stressed. Management were told several times that help was needed to keep up with the workload (we're talking hundreds of emails daily!), but hiring more staff didn't seem to be a priority. Good luck taking annual leave or falling sick!

      Recent strong business growth at PerkinElmer mandates team expansion and skillset upgrade. Naturally certain employees may find it challenging to upskill and keep up. And certain individuals may choose not to evolve with the organization despite all the support provided by management. Nonetheless every employee, present and past, are equally respected and cared for by PerkinElmer.
