Some of the OPCOs have a decent culture. Nothing good can be said about the corporate division.

Cons

Danaher doesn't care about employees only bottom line Development initiatives are only targeted at top leadership Engagement initiatives do not exist I regret working here (Danaher corporate) - does nothing for your career. No one stays long term Senior leaders are almost selfish trying to drive their own agenda..
