"My internship provided me an opportunity to gain in depth experience in field of procurement. Thermo Fisher provided me a path I can focus my career on where I got to work on live industry level procurement projects where I was able to face unexpected challenges in projects and how we can overcome that challenge. I was able to network with stakeholders to understand more about procurement. Thermo fisher provided me the skill development platform where I was able to leverage various tools in driving results and the practical exposure, I needed to decide the type of procurement career I want to pursue in future after graduation."
Pratik | Global Procurement Intern | Corporate Services Procurement
"My internship at Thermo Fisher has taught me so much, both at the bench and outside. However, the most important thing I have learned here is the importance of effectively communicating my work. Being on 3 different, concurrent projects has also taught me the importance of experimental planning and effective time management if I want to truly be a multifunctional scientist. 

My manager and team have really pushed me to network and get to know colleagues from all over Thermo Fisher and even across sites. I recently had a call with a bioinformatics Sr. Manager in the UK, and as a previously introverted scientist, I never thought I would have the guts to reach out to people the way I am now. "
Shean | Sr. Intern, Cell Biology | Life Sciences
"Through this internship I have learned to keep a positive outlook and have become well-versed in problem management. I have also been able to hone my skills in Excel and develop new ones through platforms like Clarity and Salesforce.


The advice that I would give someone applying to a Thermo Fisher internship is to not be afraid of communicating your passions and what you are interested in. At this company, they are very welcoming of different perspectives and trying to foster that uniqueness in a way that benefits personal growth but also the company's overall performance as well."
Kylie | Finance Leadership Development Intern | Clinical Resarch Division
"My internship at Thermo Fisher has assisted me in envisioning my career. I have taken many classes in business school, from Microcomputer Applications to Financial Modeling and even Global Business. However, up until my time here, applying the concepts I was taught took much work. When I got here, I could incorporate and put the lessons learned into action.


The aspect I appreciate the most about my team was how easy they were to approach and their willingness to help no matter what it was, even going beyond the work and projects assigned."
