Horrible managers. - Engineer PerkinElmer Employee Review

Not anymore. Management is a huge problem. Everyone is a "leader". The environment is super political with all its associated back biting and dirty tricks. Management is interested only in making sure they are looked at favorably by their managers. They are not interested in building good product, like the PE of old. They do not listen nor care about their people. In one meeting, where they explained a lay off it was said that "we have good news and bad news: the bad news is that we had to lay four people off but the good news is that we were able to hire six people in Singapore". People are sandbagged, blamed for problems that are caused by management's incompetence.
