Avoid if looking for a progressive and socially moral firm
Pros
PerkinElmer lab instruments and services: You will still find talented, honest and good employees working below the senior management level. A few leading products still survive the marketing strategies and competition.
Cons
For the senior officers (all but one are non-scientists/engineers) this science & technology company seems to be a vehicle for personal share options rewards. Almost all recent business strategies and internal projects (dutifully and ruthlessly carried out by amoral senior managers) appear to prove this. PerkinElmer have 'reduced the bottom line' by firing R&D teams and re-badging instruments from far-east or former competitor OEM. Few can see this as sustainable. PerkinElmer's foreign corporation tax commitment is similar to the high profile stories for Starbucks/Google/Amazon etc.
