They know the price of everything, and the value of nothing.

Pros

Lots of training in quality. Not so much practice. If they need you they pay well.

Cons

Every month the screws get tighter. Less vacation, fewer benefits, endless ways to chop nickles and dimes out of your total compensation.

Great bullet point on resume but not trustworthy

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

How much productivity can they squeeze out of you?

Business Outlook

Pros

Competitive salary, and decent 401k match and profit contribution after 1 year.

Cons

As other reviews have pointed out, Danaher is interested only in the bottom-line. Work/life balance is not a concern for them. No sick days, so have to use vacation, and it takes a very long time to get additional vacation days.
