Pros

Reasonable healthcare and good benefits, great co-workers, for the most part good mid-level management, great internal support for getting the job done, hard workers who also like to have fun together,

Cons

Corporate leadership is struggling to find itself, poor decisions made for the last 20 years are currently having a significant effect, due to insufficient investment in product lines and software PerkinElmer is struggling to be competitive, corporate seems to make a significant change in direction about every 2 years and the little people suffer

Pros

Used to be a wonderful place to work before being bought out.

Cons

There is no feeling of teamwork anymore. Management could be quite nasty and favoritism ran high. New manager seemed to like running things like it was a third world country.
