Pros

Pay Is ok and there are some very bright people working here. 3 weeks vacation to start.

Cons

Very unprofessional and unseasoned management. Lack of planning leads to one instant emergency after another. Problems are ignored until they become a crisis. Employees are coerced into working evenings and weekends... This is not the place to be if you are a women or have a family. Since engineering runs the show, some of the managers in that department appear to be on a power trip and think that yelling is a productive way to communicate. Some of the long time employees have cart blance to be rude and sarcastic. There were stories of one using its influence with the CEO to get someone in another department fired, even though the fired person was well respected by their co workers and supervisor. Overpass compensation package is poor.... No tuition reimbursment, not a lot of paid holidays, 3rd rate 401k. Overall, a very toxic and negative place to be.

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.
