Pros

This place tries to improve and keep employees in general. It provides a lot of potential to grow within the company.

Cons

Always last minute fire drill. The management cannot make a decision and hold employees to work extra hours for it. Poor communication resulted in a lot of surprises to people's expectation. No process at all.

Pros

Great if you're Danaher or Fortive MBA.

Cons

Culture of blame Constant reductions in staff, but no reduction in work Mediocre people rise to the top because the talented people get fed up and leave All operating companies run by Fortive are just a line item on a spreadsheet One choice of insurance carriers - UHC - the worst Very few women in leadership positions. Mostly older white men. Random promotions Very strange culture bound by a lot of rules and analysis paralysis.
