PerkinElmer reviews

Company as a whole: Seems like almost everyone is a white male. They don’t seem to value or practice diversity racially or gender wise. Management: Seems almost all white male Yearly meeting: a billion dollar company that assignsCOWORKERS TO SHARE HOTEL ROOMS FOR A WEEK. The hotel outside of Las Vegas resembled a foreclosed property from the recession. The meeting in Miami ran out of food at one meal. If you don’t work in the actual Perkin Elmer headquarters building in Waltham, MA then you miss out on most of the corporate culture. Many times, you have no contact with the company outside of your manager. HR tells you to go to management to “discuss” these issue. Management tells you to go to HR. Marketing leaves a lot to be desired.

PerkinElmer split into two companies. The company that purchased the PerkinElmer group, New Mountain Capital has cut staff, increased medical coverage costs and slashed 401K company match down to 3%. All teams are short staffed….it’s a complete meat grinder and I do not recommend this company. The new executive leadership team is completely out of touch with their employees and the markets they are trying to play in. And, they are inconsistent with commission payouts and accuracy.
