Pros

No company is perfect, but almost everyone I’ve worked with over the course of my time here has gone out of their way to help me any time I had a question or concern. Their benefits are great, especially their Appreciate program, which allows employees to recognize their peers; I’ve never had that before. At previous companies, only executives had the privilege, so it was all about who you know. At Thermo, supervisors are encouraged to advance their subordinates careers; this is typically part of their annual goals (at least my division) so there is opportunity for growth and constant conversation around your career next steps.

Cons

I work remote, so I don’t experience too many cons. If any – and I’m reaching – maybe that because of the level of oversight for remote employees, some don’t pull their weight as much as others? But their lack of work is apparent in their numbers at the end of the year, so it doesn’t typically have a huge impact on me.

Pros

If you're stuck in the Greenville area for some unfortunate reason, it's a job.

Cons

This place is functionally a mafia. The same rotating cast of "old head" people that have been at the site for decades watches each other's backs, and overworks everyone else. God help you if you're actually capable or smart, because they will overload you as much as possible, while ensuring that they, and their pals, do as little as possible. They really have no concept of capacity management at all. There is no math, metrics, or even mild logic that goes in to how they define R&R or distribute work. No one really knows how to do anything at all. Things that sound simple, like shipping a sample for instance.. Well, clear your afternoon. It doesn't help that all of their systems are completely antiquated. I should also note that you won't get any support on anything really, from training to execution. No one wants to be here, and it's so obvious. The place looks and feels like a prison because it is. It doesn't even pay that well compared to other pharma companies! That barbed wire isn't there to keep people out, it's to keep them in.
