-Compensation is slightly below average (part of the cost cutting culture) and most employees are overworked and are at, or close to, burnout.
-Parent company (Danaher) is very focused on reporting headcount reductions to Wall Street so this creates pressure on Fluke's senior leadership to reduce FTE's and have those remaining (the Associates, not leadership) do the work of those who's positions were eliminated.
-Senior leadership does a poor job of communicating with employees. When management does communicate the message is often comes across as political spin (e.g., glossing over management missteps and downplaying employee concerns)
-Poor work life balance.
-Career development (company is so lean that there are not many positions and opportunities that lend themselves to developing employees)
-Management does not do a good job recognizing and rewarding employees when they do a good job...focus is on the 1% of the time when things did not go right as opposed to the 99% of the time when things go well.
