Pros

None at all. Close to home perhaps? Starbucks is across the street?

Cons

Dont be fooled by the positive reviews! Funny how HR ignores the negative comments. Not sure how there are even any positive reviews? Glassdoors better look at those! The company just had a major layoff globally. Many people with years of service. They called it restructuring. HR is terrible. Stay away! Far away!

Pros

Management is pretty relaxed but I think that's only because they avoid any type of conversation with their team members. The benefits are also solid.

Cons

The list is extensive but the only thing I will mention is they just laid off an entire department right before yearly bonuses and apparently the meeting lasted no longer than 5 minutes a nobody saw it coming.

Pros

Reasonable healthcare and good benefits, great co-workers, for the most part good mid-level management, great internal support for getting the job done, hard workers who also like to have fun together,

Cons

Corporate leadership is struggling to find itself, poor decisions made for the last 20 years are currently having a significant effect, due to insufficient investment in product lines and software PerkinElmer is struggling to be competitive, corporate seems to make a significant change in direction about every 2 years and the little people suffer
