Pros

Interesting products, some good stories of the sea. Good bonus. Experience here can be leveraged into another Danaher worksite, but not on site here in Bellevue.

Cons

As said by others, poor leadership, especially in the operations team, starting at the top. Blinded by DBS and unable to see common sense as a result. I've had one good manager in my three years here. He lasted one year then ran. Very cliquish with the older team vs the newer members. LOTS of backstabbing. Peers will contribute to your review while taking comments out of context and questioning your work, but to your face they are all friendly.

Pros

If there is one leader in this organization with a deep, hands-on understanding of manufacturing and supply chain, it is the VP of Operations. He operates at a level that is simply the strongest Sea-Bird has ever seen on fundamentals, close to the details, and able to connect strategy to execution in a way that drives real results. His coaching has elevated not just his direct team, but multiple functions across the organization. If anything, he is often the one bridging gaps and raising the bar.

Cons

Limited visibility on decisions and alignment on what truly matters for the business as a whole.
