Thermo Fisher Scientific

"I was treated unfairly by a female HR manager, that was an outside hire. She was out to get me even though I had leadership support and had worked in the company for years. It depends on your site and your manager but overall it is a good place; just watch out for toxic human resources."

"The work is interesting and the pay is good, but the culture is pretty cut-throat. I didn't see honest behavior insisted upon."

"There's a great deal of training support (Thermo Fisher University, etc.) but the company's ability to absorb and use talent efficiently is very mixed."

"The experience working here is highly dependent on which division/ business unit/ subdivision with little organizational consistency. In my experience, few women were promoted to leadership positions within the division while we saw several men in the same time frame. One excellent woman manager I had was in fact demoted as part of a larger reorganization."

"Thermo Fisher is a great place to work for the culture and the opportunities. There aren’t as many women as men in my sector but there are women in all levels and roles."

"Benefits are good and flexible hours if you want it. As a women, you feel invisible and unimportant. The culture is boys club toxicity ."

"It can sometimes be frustrating as there are naturally more men in engineering. They do have employee resource groups for women which is a great support resource. "

"great work life balance, casual atmosphere, women treated equally (as far as my experience goes)"

"There are strong expectations that people will be respectful, co-operative and constructive in their dealings with each other. The work is demanding, but there is zero drama. A very diverse workforce, and as long as you do your fair share of the work and do it well there's very little pressure about anything else. "

"Even though there are female Execs in leadership positions it is still challenging for ground floor female employees to move up. Science is a VERY male dominated field and the culture is deeply rooted but it is slowly changing. We have to work hard, build each other up, and not be afraid to be proud of our accomplishments."

"Sometimes you have to think... what would a man do if you are hesitating on a decision."

"Don’t come to the Eugene site, Ela engages in gaslighting techniques. She has been sleeping with a projects manager and they had his firlfriend fired so nonthwy are good as a couple. "

"Working condition largely depends on the BU you are in. The one in South Jersey doesn't provide the same advancement opportunities other locations provide."

"We are still behind the times with regards to flexibility. Not progressive on parental leave as well"

"Good company, but set expectations up front about work/life balance and make sure you have a manager who is supportive."

"Cutting edge and innovative culture. Although work/ life balance is a challenge. "

"Company has great diversity and inclusion initiatives including programs for women."

"Thermo Fisher Scientific is open to all flexible work arrangements and schedules. It is a great place to grow and develop your career."

"Male bosses may take advantage of female subordinates by giving them more work because they are afraid to confront the male employees. "

"More women are spoke up (thanks to their male counterparts coming to them with salary information) about gender wage gaps in multiple divisions in 2016. The company tells the employees they will review the concerns and table them for "review at a later date." The company ignores well know problems of equal pay and promotion for women and minorities and there is a exodus of employees after managers responded with retaliatory behavior (removing support, resources, gaslighting, setting employees up to fail). "

"Do not work there. They prefer men over women, thanks."

"I believe experiences vary depending upon whether a person is working in the field (sales/commercial capacity) or in one of the brick and mortar offices, and then whether that office is an acquired company or one of the "traditional" Thermo businesses. Office settings in general appear to be conservative, and less flexible for women. Field positions inherently provide greater flexibility. All that said, your supervisor is key to your experience!"

"There were women at all levels of management during my tenure there. I found it to be extremely equal in the treatment of men and women. Men and women both were encouraged to take maternity/bonding leave without prejudice. I would absolutely work there again."

"Our leadership team has very few women, and there are no women-to-women mentoring programs. The maternity leave policy is lagging, as the company only offers 5-6 weeks short term disability pay (70% of salary), but you get 6 weeks only if you take a week of your FMLA before your baby is born, which makes no sense. There is no paid paternity leave or adoptive parent leave."
