Pros

working in a industry protected by regulations that is not subject to outsourcing and hence recurring lay-offs. Steady revenue and great market outlook. Their HQ cafeteria offers great food and snack at a reasonable price.

Cons

If you like working in an 1984 environment joint Masimo. This company is overly paranoid and you are constantly under watch. If you don't have knowledge about human physiology you are practically treated like a second class citizen even if you job does not require that. There is a culture of nepotism and favoritism, in order to advance in your career, you have to play politics as "your great performance" is only a subjective issue so be ready to kiss a lot of butts.

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.
