Pros

Nice building(s) and the fellow workers are usually pleasant enough to be around.

Cons

The corporate culture is full of shifty people. Expect long hours, being yelled at if you report any OT, and constant pressure to come in for 8-10 hours Saturdays for no pay. Company expects this kind of 'loyalty' yet gives nothing in return. No regard for the legalities of labor, they do what they want, and if you complain or raise it as an issue, you are shot down. Everyone working there is under intense pressure to get things done, and everything is a priority. High turnover rate as a result, with a lot of good people leaving in frustration, feeling taken advantage of. Others, god workers, dismissed for no clear reason. As a result, job security doesn't exist and most employees look for another job withing months of coming here. Overall, one of the worst places I have ever worked. It is true what the 'real reviews' say, engineers are the top tier of employee, and even they get worked to death and thrown out at a moment's notice.

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.
