What a sh*t show. - Senior Field Service Engineer PerkinElmer Employee Review

Dirk, the new CEO is a tool of the highest magnitude. He moves is and thinks his flashy MBA means he knows how to run a high tech manufacturing company. Let's go down the list of like minded tools that thought they knew better than the accumulated knowledge of an organization. Boeing, can't make planes that actually fly anymore. GE, America's premier manufacturer, made everything from MRIs to lightbulbs, broken up due to guys like Dirk. And now Perkinelmer. Ran into the ground because the new guy never learned that making money is the result of what you do, not the focus you try to achieve.
