Decent company, supported by Danaher, but continual shifts in leadership and culture are exhausting.

Business Outlook

Pros

Danaher benefits are quite strong, direct sales roles are compensated well, everything else not so much.

Cons

Rapid, and poorly communicated changes from leadership every 6-12mo's. The company continues to operate overly lean to the detriment of employees, but then opens headcounts that are redundant and don't address root issues.
