Business Outlook
Pros
Staffed so lean that you can work above your level and have a span of control to gain experience far beyond norms. DBS (Danaher Business System) teaches you about Lean Processes, and there is flexbility with change and constant adaptation. If you want career growth, and you're an Ivy League MBA, you can opt for a fast track to a leadership position.
Cons
Ridiculous emphasis on the issue of headcount. Every KPI in the company eventually gets trumped by this. Sadly, they lose a lot of talent and the "A" performers hang around long enough to see what's going on and leave. The rest are just being ground down into dust. Not a long term career move.
