Pros

I have been working here for a few months now and I cannot recommend PerkinElmer enough. The support and training I have received are definitely one of the most thorough and expansive experiences I have had in my career, to date. Management are supportive, and responsive. Work moves through everyone quickly, and communication is definitely one thing that is consistent throughout the company. Many of my colleagues are able to work flexibly around their busy schedules, working from home, or from remote locations. Also, there are also many great opportunities to travel to US offices to meet the rest of our teams too.

Cons

Must admit, location is in the middle of countryside - but on good commuter routes so fair enough.
