      Pros

      After nearly a decade at this company, and having been in the workplace generally for over 25 years at several Fortune 500 companies, I can say that this is one of the best run, most well managed companies I have ever worked for. Smart, aggressive, talented. All of these traits apply equally throughout. I feel like I work with the best and brightest.

      Cons

      Not many. Some people complain that the hours are long and the company expects weekend and after hours work. I agree that is the case, but the compensation and the autonomy granted by the company to enable an employee to succeed more than makes up for that.

      Who wins?

      Pros

      Committed to being best in class using simple standardized tools across all OpCos. Prefers simple quick solutions to problems over longer term complex costly solutions, even when the longer term solution is better for the employees and customers.

      Cons

      Most employees work 55-60 hour week minimum. Salaries and bonuses are average, Danaher targets industry averages when setting mid-points (so don't expect to be paid more than others when working for Danaher). Company is grossly under resourced. Danaher puts financial results way way ahead of customer satisfaction (don't let them tell you differently). Execs tell you reason is so that Danaher can acquire more companies. So who wins? The stockholders of the acquired companies. Put another way, Danaher employees work their tails off, for average pay, with no incentives, so the execs and stockholders of acquired companies can get rich. Employees don't win.
