X-Rite reviews about "people"

New management does not learn the business nor do they seem to care about the people that work there.

EVERYTHING is data driven. EVERYTHING is driven by hitting target numbers. The managers are 100% corporate drones who only care about hitting their metrics. Some are two-faced who pretend to care about the people, but realistically can't be trusted. There are operations managers who are extremely young and experience/immaturity is readily apparent. Some team leaders are just awful to work under. Some team leaders are on their phone all day, watching movies. The atmosphere USED to be awesome. It WAS enjoyable to come to work every day. There used to be "lunch and learns" where pizza was provided and you could learn about the product that was being produced. Those disappeared fairly quickly. Coffee and donuts used to be provided at the "end of the month", but again, those disappeared as well. "Crosstraining" is doublespeak for doing more without extra pay. Its extremely hard to advance in your "career" if you aren't in a production manager position. Its impossible to transition from operations to information technology, even if you have the skill set. Many positions are designed to where there is only lateral movement, no movement up in the corporate ladder.

Unreasonable and disconnected management team

Frequent org changes constraining innovation

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.

I cant see many cons,

Leadership is focused on the quarter versus the long-term strategy Middle management is dictated to by top leadership and doesn't have much say Leadership is a boys club and women don't get promoted often Heavy focus on the red and the greens are rarely celebrated

SLT changing strategy and direction for the company too often, causing frustration in the employees. Disconnect between US headquarters and offices in other regions of the world which can make the job harder at times.

Inexplicable management decisions, Manager did not take responsibility for his own decisions.
