Pros

Wall Street darling status good for management portfolios

Management only cares about fattening stock price so they can cash out ridiculous option grants - but will let employees go at any time to make numbers.

Pros

Danaher is a good place to be from. I value the relationships I have been able to develop over the years with my peers. I still stay in contact with them and, in fact, work with those who have left the company before me.

Cons

Employees are constantly required to report. A company clearly obsessed with gathering data relative to performance will only inhibit performance itself.
