Post-modernism inherently critiques many of the assumptions underlying the practice of traditional science, including the objectivity and reliability of evidence.

For the most part (though extremes that go beyond this can be found) this isn't an attack on science and empiricism as useful techniques, but more a cautionary critique that it is impossible to completely avoid subjectivity and cultural influence, and that that cannot, in the general case, be safely ignored.

The attack being overly generalized, even to good quality evidence and reliable working processes while not being constructive.

Not being constructive is the major failing of the whole postmodernist philosophy.
