Thermo Fisher Scientific Reviews

Pros

I joined the company 9 years ago in temporary position, since then I've been made permanent, I've been promoted twice, I've attended numerous internal and external training courses, I've gained exposure and learned from senior leadership in the company, and I've had the opportunity to travel internationally. The company does cool stuff!

Cons

Sure - things get busy at times - but I'd rather be busy than bored at work!

Pros

Travel around the world, to expand ones skills throughout the company

Cons

Family time, last minute travel, pressure to become an expert overnight on equipment to identify issues with software flaws. Min 120days travel each year

Advice to Management

Expectations and pressure to deliver AOP's on frustrated customers. Management not knowing equipment flaws or allowing time for resolvements

Pros

Good resources available to achieve your objectives

Cons

Sometimes the overly corporatepolicies/strictness got in the way of aggressive business development

Pros

Never a dull moment Great Colleagues

Cons

Does not deliver on value proposition, as too many in the organisation hide behind internal process, as opposed to driving an excellent customer experience. There is little work/life balance.

Advice to Management

Stop hiding behind the metrics. There is a shocking box ticking culture where if the internal process is being followed then it is assumed the job is done. Also, the is no follow through or direction given by middle management to ensure their teams are on the same page.

Pros

Strong leadership and vision, lots of job opportunities both in the region and globally. Growing rapidly across the company.

Cons

Very results oriented which may not suit some people, and the rapid growth creates a lot of change. Can be hard to keep up with it sometimes.
