Pros

The only true Pro is the people. They care and want to be successful. The company match on the 401k is a Pro too.

Cons

Too much DHR over-process nonsense, metrics, DBS, favoritism, back room dealings, lack of honest communication, lack of timely communication, poor leadership. Benefits are too expensive and pretty shabby.

Pros

You will learn how to balance 5 jobs at once and accomplish the impossible with absolutely no resources or assistance.

Cons

Most heartless, mis-managed company I've ever worked at. The management manages to keep their jobs by firing everyone who tries to talk common sense, and then replaces them with foreign students here on a visa.

This is the worst company I have ever worked for

Pros

I have met some good people here who I know I will have lasting friendships with. I have had the opportunity to acquire experience in a number of different aspects of my field and, in doing so, have gained very valuable insight to the kind of company and department in which I want to grow old and eventually retire from.....

Cons

....and Danaher ain't it. I have not even reached the two year mark of employment with this place and am already looking for a new job. My department is so stretched to the bare bones minimum and we are so overwhelmed with the volume of our workload, that we are having trouble focusing on what our priorities are and it is often the case where tasks and deadlines fall off our plates because our plates are way too full. In spite of this, there are no plans to add headcount. The leadership within our department is nonexistant. Yes, there is a manager, directors and a VP....yet no leadership and no one with a business plan to address the needs of the department.
