Pros

Danaher is a great place to work if you are process orientated, highly structured, and results driven. In addition, small operating companies are a plus because you get the feeling of working in a smaller company with the benefits of a larger one.

Cons

Danaher can be a tough place to work in terms of work life balance and stress. In addition, the very flat management structure means that sometimes there is no-where to get promoted to.

Pros

Good benefits, I will admit that. They are willing to invest in employee education.

Cons

It is a very fast paced, very corporate environment. It is one of the worst places I have ever worked. There is no such thing as a work life balance, and the management has no tolerance for such nonsense. I hope to never hear "best team wins", or "5-S your area" or any other acronym from the Toyota business model - or I will puke. There, I just did it thinking about it.
