Pros

Great PKI people, innovative scientists and marketing people who listen.

Cons

After aquisition of Caliper in Nov.2011 management went into "CYA" mode, and even now, a year later, many of us are even more unsure of our future or our direction. Many of us lost products to other divisions and we have shrinking bags of products to sell to our customers and less support. Many look at a large company like PerkinElmer as a solid place to land. I am not so sure anymore.

Pros

Used to be a wonderful place to work before being bought out.

Cons

There is no feeling of teamwork anymore. Management could be quite nasty and favoritism ran high. New manager seemed to like running things like it was a third world country.
