Pros

Thermo services many different industries by providing everything for a laboratory from real estate services to instruments to the trash can under the bench. This variety can be a huge benefit because your exposure to so many industries gives you valuable experience that you can apply almost anywhere within the company or even if you leave the company.

Cons

Thermo was formed as a series of acquisitions, many of which have not ever bee integrated. There is a lot of isolation between divisions so it can be hard to move around the company or even get information about our own products. If you are ambitious in your career, you will want to make it happen for yourself. Thermo will not do the work for you. But then, if you are content to wait while someone else helps you, you probably won't get too far in your career anyway.

Pros

Since the company is big, it's a great opportunity for networking, learning new skills, and earning certificates after completing hazard safety training that you can use in the future as well (especially if you're working with Unity Lab Services). Coworkers are usually nice and will always lend a hand if you need it. If you're lucky, you might be placed at a one-person site where the site supervisor is chill and understanding, lets you work at your own pace, and helps you learn new things by giving you "side quests."

Cons

No real career growth. The workload can be hard to keep up with at times, and the company strictly enforces an 8-hour workday with no overtime, even when needed. Day-to-day operations feel heavily micromanaged by upper management through strict policies. HR introduces new policies almost monthly, often adding tasks that feel unnecessary. They frame this as becoming "more data-driven," but in practice, it hasn't led to much noticeable improvement.
