Thermo Fisher Scientific reviews

The organization is very stingy with raises from what I have experienced. Been at the organization some time now and haven't gotten a raise since I started. Definitely something to consider when negotiating salary in the hiring process. The company also has very convoluted data that is very difficult to work with, not much standardization in regards to how to handle the data to ensure accuracy of reporting. A lot of communication is done through conference calls and there are a lot of fire drills that need to be handled on a day to day basis (this is common anywhere when working with sales people). Management needs to understand the jobs that the employees are faced with better and work on developing employees on a higher level training. Onboarding seems to be low level and doesn't really help since most issues are relatively complex. Sales Directors pretty much run the show at this company and at times ask for some really complex reports that could be simplified or standardized if the company would upgrade some of their internal business systems. Seems like there are a lot of job postings but not much internal movement. Company likes to bring in a lot of people from outside and keep people in their current roles.

As a company made up of many acquired business units, it can be challenging to integrate design well within the many different business units and locations. The team is growing rapidly (which is a good), but this also leads to a lot of disorganization, moving targets for success and unanswered questions about how design will be scaled effectively and efficiently within the much much larger global organization.
