Pros

Diverse businesses; lots of upward mobility...but only if you are listed as a "high potential"; successful recent results

Cons

Ethical gaps make the "Dover Values" not worth the plastic cards the words are printed on; Hugely political organization, especially at its Downers Grove headquarters; corporate leaders are asserting more control over operating companies, although in many cases they lack enough knowledge of businesses to not hurt results; limited regard for employees who they treat as disposable assets; limited upward mobility for those not on the high potential list...and heaven forbid if you're older and lack enough "runway" -- then you're done.

Pros

Out of India, Dover’s work culture is great. Work/life balance is very good.

Cons

I have been working at Dover Corporation full-time for more than 4 years in Software division Managers are not good, always playing politics with technical persons. Many managers don’t have good technical skill, they cannot guide team properly. If any technical problem comes, engineers have to be suffered. Managers are not sending people to Onsite for long term. Only short term onsite facility available for Indian engineers, and sometime managers used to take this opportunity. Career growing opportunity is very less for fresher. No chance to learn new technology. There are very less technically strong people present in Bangalore branch. Many time projects are suffering due to bad team politics.
