Pros

The caliber of people you work with and the DBS Danaher Business System training you receive is incredible, very decentralized and entrepreneurial. Danaher is very good at allowing cross business career opportunities for high achievers.

Cons

The company is demanding from a time standpoint some positions would be tough on a young professional beginning a family.

Business Outlook

Pros

- Will gain great experience and knowledge, especially when involved heavily with DBS (Danaher Business Systems) - Can drive amazing short term results

Cons

- Shark Tank! - Nothing matters other than metrics, cost savings, and results for the sake of upper management and shareholders; leads to massive shortcutting and neglecting of core values and top two publicized metrics (Safety, Quality) - DBS can be utilized for better purposes; company talks the talk but doesn't walk the walk - Impossible to succeed at OpCos (subsidiaries) that have been leaned out (anorexic state) and suffering from lack of reinvestment while cost metrics become more rigid; Danaher succeeds while subsidiaries eventually fail
