Pros

Salary is fairly decent buts thats about it.

Cons

Work / Life Balance is horrible they expect you to work whenever they say but you unable to carry any time off over to the next year. Did i mention you only get 10 days per year. Danaher considers there employees as a statistics you are just another number on a sheet to them. Once your project ends be prepared to look for another opportunity because they already forecasted the end of your job. There is ZERO culture at Danaher you feel like a drone working here & you can be easily replaced. I believe the average lifespan of an employees is 1-3 years if your not senior management expect to get canned within that timeframe. I would avoid working for them or any of there subsidiaries at all cost.

Pros

Great business system and tools. Outperforms by outworking the competition. Success for those willing to sacrifice and deliver results.

Cons

Work / life balance will be a problem for many, but if you know this is an issue you may want to steer clear. "Average" performers will struggle here, and will likely be disappointed with career progress.
