Thermo Fisher Scientific Employer Reviews

Thermo Fisher Scientific (NYSE: TMO) is the world leader in serving science. The company enables its customers to make the world healthier, cleaner and safer by providing analytical instruments, equipment, reagents and consumables, software and services

This is probably my favorite job. I came in through an employment agency and before I knew it I was asked to take the role of head receptionist (a prestigious job considering the size of this international company). Day to day was more or less the same routine but with the extra time I had I would help different departments. The staff were quite reasonable, – more... well organized, professional, cordial and other positive descriptions. I only have positive things to say about this company. – less

This job can be very stressful however Thermo Fisher is very good at their employees balancing work/life with our 9/80 program which is awesome to have every other Friday off. The most enjoyable part of my job is knowing I have satisfied the customer and they are happy and my customers keep coming back.

In general, the people are nice, but the job is mundanewith little chance of progression. Mangament attempts to plasica the employees by telling them what they want to hear without follow through. Underpaid compared to local bussinesses of the same type by 20%.

Enjoyed my time at Thermo Fisher Scientific. A lot to do, and not enough time to do it all... but I learned a lot

As a sales person, working with Thermo is pleasure. Thermo helped me to transform as Manager from Executive.

Amazing coworkers who all love doing what they do. Very helpful and have given me a sense of what the real world will be like.

Thermo Fisher Scientific is a good company to work for as I have never been without a project to work on.
I create Op guides and Service manuals for medical equipment used in Histology and Pathology labs and hospitals all over the world.

Very fast pace. The co-works were great. There was a high turn over of management personal.

The job contained a variety of tasks such as, carrying the responsibility for voucher load, submitting the check run and replying to email correspondents.
I gained the confidence to work independently and also learned to train co-workers.
The hardest part of the job for me was my own flexibility with solving other's problems, as well as my own.
Most – more... enjoyable part of the job was the satisfaction I received from solving many discrepancies. – less

overall great experience and nice and fast paced
when you have a question they actually like when you ask for help

Every single person is very responsible, they know how to do their job. Good training programs for everyone.

Wasnt allowed to leave your "cell area" unless you got permission. other personnel seemed to be allowed to surf the web while others worked. no teamwork in ceratin areas

Review of products requested on bids from schools across the US. I contact our suppliers or seek others to find what they are looking for.

I have learned about the nation STEM initiative that schools are introducing into their curriculum at the middle and high school level schools as an effort to increase the job preparedness for our future leaders

Wide – more... diversity of talent pool in our team.

Hardest part is keeping out name as no. 1 supplier in the industry when so many try to copy and do the same.

Most enjoyable is working with the dedicated professionals who work well together. – less

Really like my coworkers, but management is p-o-o-r. Their style is to intimidate anyone that questions the validity of something. If you're not into brown-nosing, watch out!!!
I found it ironic how in the training it was preached how important soft skills are yet my manager sorely lacks this "necessary skill".
They talk about "coaching" to continue – more... customer satisfaction - been there a few months now and have yet to get any coaching at all except to talk about not using the BATHROOM outside of the 2, 15 minute breaks and lunch. My manager seems to enjoy being indignant by constantly speaking to me rudely and ridiculing me when I make a mistake, instead of telling me what I've done wrong and showing me how to do it right.
While in training for 3 months I found it interesting to hear the teacher tell very personal information about other coworkers while they were not in the room.
They talk a good talk but don't walk it. All I have to say is WATCH OUT. The welcome mat quickly rolls up! – less

Provided Administrative Support to the US Chemical Human Resources Department. Processed all Human Resources related data entry into the HR systems Oracle, Access Database. Processed benefit changes and enrollment forms. Maintained medical information via STD/LTD, Workers Compensation cases and personnel files up to date. Assisted HR Manager/HR Representative – more... as needed. General office duties and perform other duties as assigned or needed. Learned how to conduct Orientation, reviewed applications to schedule Interviews,background checks and drug testing . Conduct payroll maintenance via Timetrak System. Tracking and posting internal job bids was challenging . Enjoyed coordinating special events- picnics, job fairs, Christmas parties, and retirement luncheons – less

A typical day at work is attending breakdown of machines, installing new equipment and repairing all electrical faults. I enjoy working with my shift colleagues.

The sheer size of Thermo Fisher allows for any person to acquire a position and climb the corporate ladder. With hundreds of locations globally it can provide a person with a successful career. Benefits are great. The key to success within Thermo Fisher is managing change. Acquisitions of new companies occur often and integration needs improvement. – more... This leads to the diversity of cultures, policies, communication, and overall human resource issues. The goals within the company are seen within all layers and can present a challenging growth with anyone. – less

Thermo Fisher Scientific was a great internship for me over the summer. The pay was good for entry level and the hours were manageable. The people I worked with were nice and my manager was great! For people looking for higher up possitions Thermo Fisher has plently of opportunties avaliable.

The lion's share of Cole-Parmer's (division of Thermo Fisher Scientific) business has been through the mailing of their main catalog and supplemental "Featured Products" brochures. Unfortunately, going to market via the internet is not one of the company's strengths; and the reason for that is the cost associated with PPC programs and other "Customer – more... Loyality" promotions.

I learned a great deal about print publishing, but constantly was a proponent of internet marketing, including email blasts. Sooner or later the Marketing Plans I created will have the dust blown-off them, the programs will be executed, and the result will be additional market share. I wish them success in this endeavour, and since I still am in touch with numerous fellow Product Managers, I will one day hear about this success. – less
