                        Pretty decent pay and the ability to cross train

                        Cons

                        I worked there for many years, it started out as a dream job and then as time went by the corporation got extremely greedy as year after year they did not backfill retirements. Instead, they continuously heap more work on the existing labor force to the point where most people are completely overwhelmed and miserable. Meanwhile, they compensate the executive team with ridiculous exorbitant amounts of money and stock options, all funded by squeezing their workers and customers like a giant python.

                      Do you experience that how long the hiring process would take at Thermo Fisher? I got my second interview with hiring manager at the beginning of November but I haven’t heard nothing from them. When I’ve emailed them to check in they just said that the process would be slow, no time frame. I would be able to get an offer soon from other company but work as contractor. Should I wait for Thermo Fisher?

                      Booz Allen Hamilton Recently applied and I've been referred for an interview! Any tips on interviewing with Booz Allen? And if I am being asked to complete clearance and background upfront, is this a good indicator for being hired?

                      Alex L.

                      Applied for a job a few weeks back, got a call from HR yesterday morning about an interview next week. She mentioned she'd shoot me an email with all the interview details, but so far, my inbox is empty. Assuming I'll hear from her early next week, is it normal for them to expect me to show up for an in-person interview on short notice, like couple days?
