Thermo Fisher Scientific Employer Reviews

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

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 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

Got my start in the semiconductor world here. It was a very challenging and satisfying job for me. The hardest part of the job was the traveling on short notice.

Great place to work, I ejoyed starting my career here and had wonderful co workers.

Mentoring and coaching employees to meet customer expectations

I would not recommend working for Thermo Fisher Scientific to anyone I consider a friend. There are better places to invest your time and effort and my advice is pursue all other possibilities first.

The managers are typically not respectable, most are ladder climbers that are more interested in impressing their senior managers than improving their – more... performance and output.

Use the company for experience if you need it but don't expect to be appreciated. – less

Being part of such a huge organisation has its pros in as much as there is much opportunity to work with colleagues across varying countries, cultures and backgrounds. On the other hand, however, you do wonder how your small contribution can make a difference! Watch out for workforce consolidations but seek to utilise the travel opportunities.

This is a horrible company go work for. They treat their employees with no respect. After the hurricane they had the entire crews working without ventilation in the building. In a chemical environment it is vital to have the proper ventilation. They had no regard for the employees. I was an operations manager there and I stood tall to protect my crew. – more... This is why they let me go. I tried everything in my power to protect my staff and the company resented it. – less

Packaged material for shipping and received incomming packages, I learned very much about the exporting of good to all countries, I believe I had the greatest coworkers they were loyal and a joy to work beside, the hardest part of my job was learning all the ins and outs of the exporting compliance that is needed for shipping material overseas, the – more... most enjoyable part of my job was the every day busy of the shipping & receiving office, helping people locate what they need and keeping everything in the right place. – less

Thermo Fisher has a good, open, informal working environment which is condusive to learning more about the company and getting help to improve productivity. People are engaged in their work, determined to produce quality but approachable and helpful. Management is good to communicate and provides an informal, comfortable atmosphere to work in.

A typical day at work consisted of everyone working as a team to get quality products out in a timely manner. I learned every job I could to become a valuable asset to the company. Management was very good to me and gave me the freedom to step in anywhere there was a bottleneck to keep the lines and product running smoothly and efficiently. Co-workers – more... were for the most part easy to work with and cooperative. The hardest part of the job was when the steel plant workers had to transfer to the wood Pant and understandably they did not want to be there. We had to work harder to make up for the one's who didn't want to work at an efficient pace. The most enjoyable part of the job was being able excel, resolving issues that came up, changing programs on CNC machines to make part fit properly. Producing quality cabinets. Many of the workers and managers relied on my expertise and desire to excel which was very rewarding – less
