Pros

The employees at the lower level of the company are great.

Cons

Danaher bought out a small company and it was like being a boiling frog with all the changes they made. What was once a family feel turned into a company ran on numbers and metrics with no disregard to the story behind the numbers. Multiple re-organizations within a few year timeframe where they cut the fat each time. Their severance agreements are a joke and despite being a billion dollar company - will do anything to save a buck and do not care for their employees.

Business Outlook

Pros

Decent Benefits, a very strong stock. Large portfolio of well known companies under the Danaher umbrella. Pay is in line with industry.

Cons

Employees are over driven by way too many ineffective processes, a good portion of which are not applicable to the business unit. HR is extremely biased towards certain individuals to he point of turning a blind eye to problematic employees. Everything is about the bottom line. Innovation is not encouraged if there is a cost involved. Stress levels very high.
