Pros

Pay and benefits are good. The pulse ox tech is "me too" but probably slightly better than the competitors.

Cons

Too many to list here, but I completely agree with most of the other posts on this site. The management, at all levels is the worst that I have experienced at any company in my career. The bureaucracy is so ridiculous that it takes days or weeks to get the simplest tasks accomplished. People are rarely promoted from within and when they are it is because they were the best at kissing-you know what, not due to any talent or performance.

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.
