Pros

good "worker bees" at the entry-level location is convenient HR group supportive of employees with events, etc.

Cons

~too many chiefs - all white guys - some asian folks in IT tho.... If you're a highly educated, skilled woman, this is not the company for you. ~Jr-college corp - two years, and you're ready to graduate to a real company. turn-over is high. ~Sr. mangement and corporate org. suffers from title inflation. Too many Sr. VPs, Sr. Executive VPs, Sr. Directors, Sr. director, bla, bla. Most of these guys (guys) are not managing or directing anyone or anything -- in a regular company -- these men would be analysts or supervisors at most. Title in lieu of pay? No, title to set yourself up for your next job. ~infrastructure - systems, processes, project management, documentation, intranet, methods, practices are all old, badly implemented, the business technology is old. They have the money to make it better, but Sr. mgmt suffers from the "I'm good" syndrome when it comes them actually using technology, many actively resisting anything that would force them to learn something new, do something themselves, or move their butts out of their comfortable chair. (Can't we get one of the GIRLS to enter it in Agile???) Why would my MBA waste time with a company or an executive who thinks an MS project schedule or sharepoint site is too complicated?

Pros

Danaher came in and this new ceo will be better than the last one. Innovative devices that make a real difference in clinical environments. Talented, dedicated engineers and individual contributors who are passionate about quality and results. Competitive benefits and resources supporting the technical work.

Cons

senior leadership appear disconnected from actual operations. They often seem to know little about the day-to-day realities and contribute minimal practical value, leading to poor decisions, bottlenecks, and wasted effort for the teams doing the real work. Increasing bureaucracy and top-heavy structure that slows down progress despite the strong capabilities of the people on the ground. A noticeable gap between executive influence and actual impact, which is frustrating even as a newcomer observing it. Key talent and legacy know-how are leaving at a concerning rate, which makes newcomers like me nervous about the company’s long-term knowledge retention and stability. Gossip is rampant, further eroding trust and team cohesion.
