Pros

Was a great company, made good products. Many outstanding employees throughout the company. Historical products are well designed and excellent when made properly.

Cons

Treats employees poorly: low salaries, verbal abuse, forced overtime, no respect for employees. Since the purchase of Sea-Bird by Danaher the management has been changed to inexperienced, poor managers who have no experience in the industry, poor decision making abilities and much more interest in the bottom line than in the customer. When found that 60% of the employees would leave if they were offered another job management response was that the employees could leave if they didn't like it.

Pros

I am passionate about the work I do each day in water environments.

Cons

They keep employees until they are eventually dismissed for questionable reasons. This company is not trustworthy to work for. Many people come and go, and even hardworking employees are let go without fair justification.

Pros

Interesting products, friendly people, great work-life balance (no time off limit). Great place to get experience for young engineers. You can learn a lot from the mistakes of others.

Cons

Too few engineers to maintain all products. Frequent preventable "fires" caused by lack of investment. Problems are not solved because we put a bandaid on issues and move on to other priorities. Very frustrating at times.
