Thermo Fisher Scientific reviews

DO NOT ACCEPT A JOB HERE!!! The well known name is a trap. The Global Chemical division is the bottom end of the Thermo Fisher totem pole and it is very apparent from work culture to management skills to dire office conditions. Management only cares about profit and not the quality of material. Constantly sending out poor quality material to our customers. Which makes sense since no one in upper management has any chemistry experience. "Employer of Choice" is the biggest joke. No one listens to employees wants, concerns, or needs. It was the absolute worse work culture I have ever worked in. A cut-throat setting where you get written up for everything, you are not free to talk to employees in other departments without being reprimanded, and you will get thrown under the bus the minute you drop the ball. 0 chance to grow in this company, There is no career or self development options. They will use you up and throw you out before you ever get any recognition or promotion you deserve. There is a huge disconnect between Upper Management and the work force that drives a low morale. Compensation is not comparable. Also no raises or bonuses. HR makes up lies to solve complains to make sure no upper management ever gets blamed. They will cover up their unethical acts no matter the cost. Also very rude to pregnant women. Cafeteria food is disgusting and will make you sick!

Compensation is absolutely awful. Performance metrics are based on ridiculously unrealistic goals that management uses to keep yearly pay raises for top performers low (about 1-2% each year). Compensation plan changes each year, is very difficult to understand and even more difficult to track. Management reserves the right to increase yearly sales goal at anytime! This is not a true sales job but more of a glorified customer service role where you are bringing in massive profits for the corporation with very little personal income return. Leadership is focused solely on shareholder value, profit and manipulating pay plans to avoid paying commissions to reps.
