Pros

The company produces instrument of high technology. It offer more vacations than the average company but you need to use them if your are sick (no sick days). Some site offer flextime. There is no sense of urgency at Thermo, resulting in less stress. As long as you do the minimum they'll keep you and you'll get the same treatment as the ones that work twice as much!

Cons

Salary, communications. Each site is different. It's not One Thermo yet. Two classes - Managers - Other employees. No pension plan or profit sharing.

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.
