Pros

You will have the opportunity to make a transition from Scinetist to Marketing.

Cons

Promotion not based on performance but more on who you know. Little punishment for bad performance, and the reward for good person is limited.

Pros

Sigma has some great people, definitely the best part of Sigma is the wonderful co workers. The parking is free. Not too far of a drive,

Cons

With so many good, hard working people it is hard to watch Sigma go into the dark ages. HR does nothing to help or support workers abused by inadequate managers who have taken advantage of the fear in people. With the trials that face all of us these days I had hoped Sigma would have stepped up to the plate and support their employees instead of taking advantage and using these trying times to use and neglect instead.

Pros

Millipore has some very smart, outgoing, and business-savvy people. Most people are great to work with, and very open/willing to help. There is a good sense of teamwork among peers. Good flexibility with hours when needed, but everyone makes up for that on evenings/weekends. A couple of the best managers have told people to "put down the Blackberries" for the weekend, as work/life balance is heavily weighted toward work.

Cons

As with all companies, there are a few very abrasive individuals. Many people are aware of these but there is little done about them if they meet the numbers. The organizational structure is very flat, with little room for promotion or career advancement (e.g. people management). HR has stated that transitions do not happen for years, unlike peer companies. There is also limited opportunity to move between internally between groups or divisions, though there have been some exceptions. Innovation is highly spoken of, but ideas are only considered if they are from certain levels of the company. There is little recognition for a job well done unless you are one of the groomed "high potential" people. The rest of us just carry water.
