Pall Reviews

Pros

Relaxed atmosphere, great people, interesting work, great benefits. I'm really encouraged by what I've seen from the new sr. management team and I think the company has great potential moving forward - it's an exciting time to work for Pall.

Cons

Compensation is middle of the road. Staffing is extremely lean these days, and the feeling in the office is that the cuts that took place at the bottom of the recession might have been too close to the bone.

Advice to Senior Management

Keep pushing for better business information systems. Implement a fully staffed PMO for R&D with top-down support. Implement a global LIMS system for SLS.

Pros

If you are the kind of person that likes to work hard for very little pay or respect Pall is the place to work. You do get a lot of holidays off.

Cons

Pall is the kind of place that will take advantage of a good worker. Additionally they are unwilling to negotiate salaries at the time of an offer letter. Leadership is very disorganized with no real structure or vision.

Advice to Senior Management

It is time to evaluate all of the salaries of your employees to make sure that they are level across all fields. When new employees are brought in with significantly higher salaries than existing employees it is a slap in the face.

Pros

The benefits are great, alot of opportunity to learn and grow,

Micromanaging by your superiors, everyone thinks that they are more important then everyone else. Sales guys push to get their numbers at your expense.

chaotic, toxic, intensely political. IT rams everything down everyone's throats. People from the lowest level to the highest level are leaving in droves. Operations is in jeopardy.

Advice to Senior Management

Hire real and not second rate managers, those with integrity. Pay close attention to how hard it is to operate your business at the ground level. Don't be a plaything of IT to allow them to mess up operations tremendously.
