Pros

Coworkers are great and there’s a lot to learn with cool projects (but literally no one wants to buy a knock off smart watch with no texting or poor quality home health products)

Cons

Getting 2/5 of your board replaced by Politan isn’t a good look, in addition to forcing employees to work crazy overtime for months to meet a release date only to announce that you are cancelling raises and promotions company wide?? This is utter chaos. Management is inexperienced all across the board from middle management all the way up to the C suite. Too many simultaneous projects (I literally have 9 distinct projects assigned to me), lack of direction and no vision - if everything is urgent all at once, then effectively nothing is urgent.

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.
