Pros

Very focused on excellence and continuous improvement. Great place to be if you are truly interested in learning about Six Sigma, Lean Manufacturing, Kaizen's, etc.

Cons

Constantly moving management around. This is good in one respect because they get a feel for the entire business. This is also bad because you can end up with management that doesn't understand or want to understand a certain business unit.

Pros

Fluke makes quality products that customers are willing to pay a premium for. As a Danaher company, Fluke uses the Danaher Business System (DBS), which is an offshoot of the Toyota Production System. DBS is a great set of tools to help increase manufacturing productivity and reduce "waste." Fluke has many intelligent and dedicated employees who are willing to work very hard to make the company successful.

Cons

-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.

Pros

Quality products that customers love, accurate, durable and safe tools for the maintenance professional. Fluke products help individuals do a better job and help companies be more green by using less power and using it more efficiently.

Cons

Managerment style is very negative - constant focus on what you have not done regardless of positive contributions. Typical management comment is good job, but....Expectation is that you work til midnight every night and start your day at 5, pay cuts of 10 %, forced time off, no promotion opportunities. I have never seen a worse company when it came to managing data or communication to employees. Very questionable business ethics when it comes to being a public company. Company will make their numbers for Danaher at the expense of the workers the loyalty at this company definitly goes one way. I am amazed at how loyal people are to this company when Fluke will throw them aside if it means making the Danaher number. Wake up Sheep!
