Pros

There are no shortage of entertaining management moments throughout the week. It's like I am living in a Dilbert cartoon. The other day they made it so that our computers automatically open the corporate homepage in Internet Explorer every time we start our computers. Why? Because employee surveys tanked management for not communicating and managing from the top down. So, without any warning, mandate a change to "solve" the problem that impacts everyone's ability to do their job everyday. And I don't think anyone at the VP level gets how crazy that sounds.

Cons

DBS. Seriously, if you want to work for Danaher, go work for them. As long as you are going to put up with an insane productivity regime you might as well get to put Danaher on your resume and own some of their stock. Danfoss tries to be Danaher, but it comes off as campy and half-baked. DBS is really just a collection of poorly designed spreadsheets administered by Danes with a community-college level business education. All this for a privately held company - so it's not like there is a quarterly earnings report to worry about. It would be funny if anyone was bright enough to get the joke.

Pros

A very ethical and system oriented company. Lot of learning opportunities provided to employees. Decent work life balance

Cons

1. India operations as has a lot of regional preferences when considering employee career growth. 2. Compensation at lower management is not as per industry standards 3. Very limited career growth, majority of the sales team members are in the same profile for the last 5-6 years. This has caused attrition to increase in the last few years.

Pros

Very open atmosphere - everyone can contribute with their opinion. Turnaround after the 2008/2009 crisis successful - now business is growing again.

Cons

In most areas salary/benefits are slightly behind - but it is outweighed by many other advantages.
