Pros

Had great colleagues but that's it

Cons

Benefits are high, there is no work life balance. "This is Danaher and how it is" Which means you will work long hours and its expected there is one way loyalty and you are disposable. Managers who should never be managers.

Primitive company

Pros

none, i cant think of any

Cons

Danaher companies operate solo and depending on your luck you could get one that is really primitive in their operations and thinking. Resource is not optimised efficiently, analysis team does huge proportion of accounting work because shared services support is not there. People always work late because the focus is always off. Management think by being detailed they are in full control so they micromanage but they over complicate things and create unnecessary work so people are too busy filling in templates to do any other value adding work. You can feedback but you either get empty promises or told you should adapt to their primitive culture. This is not the typical MNC culture anyone would expect.

Pros

I worked at a company of Danaher. I was lucky to meet a couple of nice people. It's a job, so at least can pay your bills.

Cons

The company cares most the stock price. No career development unless you are managers. Employees are used as cheap labour, no matter how skilled you are. Don't believe what they say. They're trying to squeeze out the last drop from you. All they care about is to have a good looking bottom line and rise their stock price. They should change their business to stock trading. I don't buy a sing share of this company, even though it won't affect them at all, because I don't believe a high-tech company who don't value innovation and its employees and customers. The company changes its organisation structure frequently, makes people feel insecure. They love inorganic growth. If one business is not doing good, just sell it and buy a new one. They believe so much in that management, not hard-working people, can create new technologies.
