Pros

No redeeming qualities exist for this company.

Cons

PerkinElmer is run by accountants and Wall Street. There is no vision other than to milk the product lines they have acquired and layoff the staff at the acquired companies. If you are at a company that was acquired, watch out.

Pros

Great people in field and customer facing positions. Vast knowledge base of applications and instrumentation.

Cons

Very poor executive leadership- don't want to spend money on marketing, promotion of instrumentation, or relevant customer applications. Most do not know industry. Wonder why sales are decreasing.
