Pros

Great place to get experience. Good people to work alongside

Cons

Little to no room for job movement within the company as a scientist. No emphasis on development of talent. Lack of reinvestment into the lab spaces leading to lot's of old equipment requiring constant maintenance. Hard work goes unrewarded

Pros

Decent benefits and work/life balance. I'm hesitant to include work/life balance as a pro because you have to fight for it. They will drain every ounce of your time and life if you don't set your own limits. There is an overwhelming and always increasing amount of work with no commensurate increase in compensation. If you are desperate or just need a place to start, this company is okay, but I would highly suggest being ready to job hunt again in a few years.

Cons

Very low pay versus market, especially when compared to responsibilities and work load. Raises are either non-existent or close enough to zero to be offensive. From what I can tell, the organization is a mess structurally. There's no clear chain of command, and people/groups have overlapping responsibilities. The opinions of those people/groups drives changes within the company, and those opinions often conflict. People doing the actual work end up with repetitive tasks solely due to failure of leadership and management. There's a constant flood of new ideas (assuming coming from leadership) that cause current projects to be rushed to completion and all backlog of tasks to be pushed back. This is where some sort of proper leadership or management would be beneficial. Leadership and management is a huge weak point of the company. Combine an unfiltered flood of new tasks, often conflicting, with a lack of leadership, and the end result is a burned out, resentful workforce. The employees doing the actual work end up taking on the responsibility of the people who should be supporting and helping them develop professionally. Management seems to be struggling as well. So I do not really see them as the source of the issue. The problems appear to be systemic and cascading from the top. The company is filled with people who cannot adapt to new challenges and use existing tools to solve new problems they encounter in their everyday work. A large number of employees do not attempt to figure out their own solutions to problems. They make it someone else's problems. Inevitably, this means problems get passed top-down until it reaches someone willing to put in the effort to figure it.

Pros

Great products, Fresh brand. Good people within some groups.

Cons

Leadership lacks the ability to make decisions that will benefit the company. Rebranded from PerkinElmer to Revvity and instantly lost brand recognition. Short-sided attempts to improve the company in the eyes of shareholders, and then forgetting about the people doing the actual work have failed. The restructuring lacks vision, three rounds of layoffs across the board a few times.
