Pros

Known company average pay above average co-workers

Cons

mid-managment are all yes men with the exception of a few that were transfers from another thero site. There is absolutely no accontability to the metrics that management live by. the instrumentation still uses cutting edge technology from the 70's with some new electronics. pay raises are unheard of. if your not in a click forget about ever being promoted.

Pros

reasonnably paid compared to similar industries, some people are truly nice to work with, large and powerful company, good products.

Cons

this company became like big brother. There's no room for creativity, everything is controlled: schedule, client visits, actions. There's a ton of managers telling you what to do, how to do, and what to think. If your mental age is 10 yo or lower, work for thermo, you will enjoy it.

Pros

First line supervisors work incredibly hard and lead by example. High brand name recognition gets you in front of a lot of customers. Lots of growth opportunities in the company (mostly lateral) Company has been giving sales better tech support

Cons

This year's success is punished with unreasonable goals/numbers, causing many of the best reps leave the company within a few years. Top management is terrible at employee communications A commission plan so complicated that no one on the sales team or management or even payroll can explain it coherently. ThermoFisher has so many divisions, often you're competing with sales reps from your own company.
