      The print industry is changing but it isn't dying. We're a multi-industry company that is well diversified. The people in management are highly rated in our annual employee survey, the latest survey results were just released and we continue to have highly rated leaders. If you have concerns you'd like to discuss, please reach out to HR. To candidates: I encourage you to explore these areas in your interview, you will find that the leaders are knowledgeable about the business and care very much about the people.

      Management Dysfunctional--Hostile environment

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Benefits and pay meet with industrial standards.

      Cons

      Management is dysfunctional and creates a hostile environment. Limitation of loyal long term employees is very common. Never had a bad review but "position was eliminated" Bottom line is more important.

      Pros

      Very focused, strong management, deep pockets. After struggling after two major acquisitions both finanancially and operationally being purchased by Danaher has helped the company in many ways

      Cons

      The con of the Danaher acquisition is its all about DBS their distinct implementation of the Toyota way. Unfortunately this doesn't always work so smoothly.

      Continuously improving our skills in DBS is key to using it more smoothly. We've made great progress in the past 3 years of being a Danaher company. For others reading this, you can see a brief explanation of DBS here: http://www.danaher.com/our-culture/danaher-business-system. It is a significant part of who we are and how we involve people in problem solving. It makes us unique and has proven very successful over the years.

      Pros

      Folgers Coffee / There's a nice pond outside.

      Cons

      Working weekends, cut throat, layoffs quarterly to the lowest people (production or simple admin folks) when top level strategy fails to meet wall street quota. NO communication on who was let go (Scary). No real strategy with chosen mid level to upper level Danaher Management, they will simple pump and dump their numbers in two years to be on to a next higher paid assignment. DBS used for personal gain and silo politics. QDIPS! Save yourself unless you're desperate for a check.

      Pros

      Decent benefits package and compensation for the work

      Cons

      Management wasn't the greatest for the department. Less focused on the "world class" experience and more focused on transactional details.

      No Work/life balance, and cliquish groups

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      It's a salary and a job.

      Cons

      No work/life balance, and not enough hours in the day to get it all done. I worked 10+ hours and weekends yet it wasn't enough or appreciated. Upper management was highly demanding however the metrics their tracking are not achievable. Company is all about the $, not people. A good tip, keep to yourself as the company culture is very unstable with throwing people under the bus, and slander to HR. This seemed to be the norm to involve HR, and I was told by several that had been in the company for years - don't trust anyone as there are no real friends there. X-Rite is not who they used to be years back 10 years ago. You will notice cliquish groups gossiping and not working however this is very normal to X-Rite however unprofessional and misguided.

      We're a hard working organization, but the continuous improvement culture is one that focuses on finding ways to improve processes which means that we're usually looking for ways to work smarter, not harder. We set the bar high because it challenges us to think of new ways to achieve things. We have low employee attrition and very good employee engagement results, two of the things we measure. From time to time HR does help people out with resolving differences, but it's not needed very often, as people tend to get along well. I don't know the specifics of your situation, but feel free to send me a note or give me a call, or use the Speak Up lines if you want to raise an issue so we can help get it resolved. What you are describing is not typical.

      Great company, great team

      Pros

      Nice environment. I've worked at 8 different companies during a 30 year career, and X-Rite has been the best. The vast majority of the people across the company care deeply about their customers and the company. There is a lot of focus on continuous improvement that is employee led (as opposed to a pushed down from the top). Management really believes in the company's mission, vision and values.

      Cons

      Communication between teams in the company has gotten better over the years, but can still be improved.
