Lots of Opportunity for Growth

Pros

This is a small company so the opportunity to do what you want do, learn what you want to do, and see that your work has an impact is all here. With all that, the company is owned by Danaher so you see a lot of things that a small company typically doesn't have the budget to do (have Oracle as an ERP system, free drinks, access to Danaher tools, etc). Most team members are nice and put an effort to help others.

Cons

The bathrooms are straight terrible. What is up with the smell in these things? It's like all ya'll eatin' Taco Bell every hour or something.

Pros

Sea-Bird is a small company where you can branch out and do a lot, if you want to. The work and science of the products is interesting. Despite some of the other reviews of bad managers, I mostly see managers trying to be fair in a somewhat challenging environment.

Cons

It's a Danaher company meaning: - Average to slightly below average pay and benefits. Danaher is never going to make their rank and file employees feel rich. - WAY too many expectations. Danaher doesn't care about a darn thing other than profit and the pressure to do that is intense - even more so than other corporations I've worked at. (This is why I feel managers try to be fair but sometimes get stuck in impossible situations with pressure from above.) There's always more work that can be handled, always fires to put out and turnover is high leading to more work... - The new president (2018) seems to be a Danaher proxy. He speaks in such annoying, pretentious and useless corporate speak that it's difficult to trust anything he says. He wants to be genuine but just never gets that right. He says a lot of words but nothing seems to have true meaning.
