Pros

Danaher Business Systems (DBS) has value in identifying and tracking key metrics. Excellent comp and benefits

Cons

The purpose of DBS is to set the team up to not achieve their targets while pushing them to achieve as much as possible. Regardless of results you never feel like you are winning due the constant beat down you receive on a monthly basis. This results in very low job satisfaction and high turnover. Need to understand that not everything fits into DBS process. DBS doesn't work the same on the commercial side of the business as it does in operations. There is too much focus placed on internal metrics which will always cause pain to the customer.

Pros

Excellent learning experience. Competitive pay. If you want to lead and excel and work in a competitive environment, this place is for you

Cons

If it's not, and you want to find a job that you like and can stay at for a long time, need not apply. Despite all their talk, the managers have no control. They are still lower on the hill in the direction of leadership. If you want to excel, just complete your tasks. They don't have to be right, they just need to be on time. They prefer to throw it up on the wall, rather than put any rational thought behind it.
