Business Outlook

Pros

Small, easy to get to know the people. MolDev leveraged the Danaher Business System models to great internal improvements since the acquisition

Cons

The various functions are very siloed and don't communicate or work well together. All emphasis is on making sure your metric spreadsheets don't have red cells in them.

Business Outlook

Pros

Networking opportunities in field-based positions. Powerful technology with wide range of applications.

Cons

Lack of investment in innovation and development. High quality customer support is severely lacking. No opportunities for upward mobility in many positions; employees who have contributed to company development often under appreciated. Instability within company structure affects employee moral.
