Pros

Fascinating work with great coworkers. Learn as much as you can, as quickly as you can. Use this company as a stepping stone.

Cons

Supervisor/manager are low integrity and morals, fake, vindictive, with poor social skills, admits to favoritism. Management by intimidation, so coworkers may turn, to save themselves. Be forewarned.

Pros

PerkinElmer is big in the instrumentation/scientific business and known for making the mirror for hubble telescope that cost billions of taxpayer dollars. They recently bought CambridgeSoft to get into informatics business for lifescience.

Cons

Check linkedin profiles, Services, product development are headed by people with no industry, technical or domain knowledge or experience. And poor work culture/ethics, Recent exit of a number of Asians from informatics management to Merck, Pfizer due to poorly thought comments from senior staff.
