      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.

      Pros

      Some skilled and fun colleagues, some products are really innovative. Good benefits plan Nice company car Nothing else i could think of

      Cons

      Business unit manager who is not trained and bully employees as punishment for own failures... Very few good managers and their days are counted as other managers are lurking and cannibalize business unit profits. Respect your employees! Do not shout, yell or disgrace them - it barely legal and you could get sued. Crazy hours which will worn anyone out and few workers already had breakdowns for few months... Marketing is very slow and not responsive production is slow, service and application support Are not working together which complicates global satisfaction. Many software solutions to master and very little compatibility.
