PerkinElmer Employer Reviews

Looked at large flat panels for the company that made x-ray panels for medical,airlines,auto industry,oil pipe lines, or where ever they need to be able to see into something that is not able to see into with out help into the middle of the human body even the heart behind the breast bone. Or in side a pipe line to see if a hair line cracks are developing

No room for advancements. Managers are constantly trying to micromanage your job. You get reprimanded for the most mundane things while others do much, much worse things and get no type of reprimandations. If you aren't apart of the "good ole boys" club, then you will be fired. If you can kiss butt a lot and suck up, then you will do fine.

Manager forces you to work 4/5 days a week
via bullying. This is a part time job.

Early started. Good flow rate, accessioning it can take only a few hours. I learned different procedures to handle serum and dry blood spots. Most of the time you report or work under close supervision. You are part of a group of no more than ten co-workers and can become attach. Must follow operational instructions closely and must not fail.

Mainly a excellent company to work for. They provide a lot of support for service engineers to get machines working in a timely manner.

Learned a lot but worked for a short time. I got laid off due to cuts. I did not liked the working Atmosphere.

It's the management team which need to be improved.
good co-workers and friendly.
job was not that stressful.

I like PerkinElmer (PKI) which is currently going through a structural realignment, but they are facing typical large-company corporate problems such as historical siloing, compartmentalization, etc. These issues are being addressed though with the size of the company and breadth of products lines will probably never be completely solved. This is typical – more... of a large organization though.

Within my department there is great communication and I feel like a valued employee. – less

Highly recommend, excellent place to kick start your career.

Everyday was different, and working there was really interesting because of the variety of work (training, recruiting, compensation and benefits, etc) and also because dealing with people from different cultures and countries.

Broad innovative product offerings in life science space w/ global presence. Continuously drive innovation. Many very smart and highly motivated people.

Managers do not look after the comany. They are only concerned about next quarter performance. Expect to be bullied by your manager. Restructuring is a constant concern here.
