MilliporeSigma reviews

Millipore used to be a more "family-oriented" company with more options for a better "work-life" balance, such as, job-sharing, part-time positions, 4-day work weeks, even on-site childcare, etc. These options have been almost completely eliminated over the years and are only decreasing within EMD Millipore. You must be ready to embrace change. This company has been evolving over the past ten years, non-stop. It is a significant challenge to keep up with the changes.. Quality may have suffered a bit due to this. Expect to adhere to many policies and have many restrictions (since Merck has taken over there are many more 'rules"). The leadership has become very impersonal.

The day to day work gets less and less rewarding every year and since the acquisition the work in R&D has steadily decreased in its level of innovation and abstract thinking. The work is steadily becoming more and more monotonous and checklist driven and less and less about true engineering solutions. I view this as the type of place to come and work, if you're just waiting for retirement. If you just want to come in and do your job it's a great place! But, if you're looking for something more rewarding than the basic 7-4, collect a check, this isn't it.
