What do you like about working at Thermo Fisher Scientific?

"It started out as a totally great company to work for ...Great boss, great co-workers and treated like a CEO. As time went on after the initial training, I began to see that training was going to be sketchy. As soon as they let the main trainer go 1 year before his retirement and then my awesome supervisor who seemed to really care about his team and his job, I knew something was not quite kosher there."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Cover Your Butt and have a back up plan. Be ready for learning a lot on your own and not getting the direction and feedback you should expect from a very large corporation."

What don't you like about working at Thermo Fisher Scientific?

"No real training program in place, overloaded field force, competition kept stealing our best guys. The company has a cumbersome top down trickle effect and seems indifferent towards the lower levels of employee. They just merge and eliminate jobs, then seek to hire for the very same positions right after instead of utilizing existing manpower. They really lack communication."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Don't operate so indifferently to the employees by just mandating executive privilege. Get involved more, communicate more and rethink your philosophy. Establish better relationships with employees in all areas and seek to retain people not use and discard good people."
