Pros

A lot of good employees but in the last two years many people have left due to high-stress levels and improper treatment of employees.

Cons

I have witness racism and discrimination in multiple instances since new management has taken over. Management has deliberately belittled their staff without any reason. As well as, clearly fire staff over a certain age. If you are thinking of going to HR, don't bother as your concerns will not be addressed. It is abundantly clear, they are only looking to cover up and ignore blatant discrimination, racism, and abuse of power. Thermo Fisher also does not comply with many workplace standards for safety. When reporting safety concerns, they are also swept under the rug. Also very poor pay with little to no advancements, and does not compare to other company pay rates.

Pros

Since the company is big, it's a great opportunity for networking, learning new skills, and earning certificates after completing hazard safety training that you can use in the future as well (especially if you're working with Unity Lab Services). Coworkers are usually nice and will always lend a hand if you need it. If you're lucky, you might be placed at a one-person site where the site supervisor is chill and understanding, lets you work at your own pace, and helps you learn new things by giving you "side quests."

Cons

No real career growth. The workload can be hard to keep up with at times, and the company strictly enforces an 8-hour workday with no overtime, even when needed. Day-to-day operations feel heavily micromanaged by upper management through strict policies. HR introduces new policies almost monthly, often adding tasks that feel unnecessary. They frame this as becoming "more data-driven," but in practice, it hasn't led to much noticeable improvement.
