Great company to work for with a strong work ethic and supportive culture - Senior Project Manager Thermo Fisher Scientific Employee Review

-I enjoyed the work and my coworkers were nice. -The pay was more than decent for my field. -Good benefits and opportunities to learn.

No huge cons, except I got let go for financial reasons as part of a wider layoff. That was bummer but well outside of my control. My former colleagues gave me good references.

You'll get hands-on experience with regulated lab environments, which is genuinely valuable early in your career. The CRO world gives you transferable knowledge of clinical trial operations that other companies will recognize. If you're self-motivated, there's room to build things on your own. I taught myself new tools and built reporting dashboards for my department because nobody else was going to do it. Tuition reimbursement existed when I started, which was a real benefit.

Compensation does not match the workload. You will be overworked and underpaid, and when you bring it up, nothing changes. I repeatedly asked leadership to let me take on work that aligned with my career goals and education, but I was always "too busy" with my regular responsibilities for that to happen. They'll happily benefit from your output but won't invest in your growth. The tuition reimbursement policy changed while I was mid-degree, which tells you everything about how they view employee development. Benefits are underwhelming for a company this size, and when I needed them most, they fell short. A workplace injury made it very clear where employees fall on their priority list, and it's well below the bottom line.
