Pros

Great Cost cutting measures and know how to drive positive Financials / Productivity using DBS.

Cons

Created a thin Management layer that left no room for employees to grow or promote. Constant rotation of Management from other Danaher Companies drove employees out the door or wondering where they could ever go.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great opportunities if you're willing to sacrifice and work extremely hard. Will become a millionaire if you get in the equity program. Great business system and processes for most everything. If you can survive here, you can survive anywhere.

Cons

Processes aren't always followed. Quest for revenue growth leads to some questionable ethics and decisions. More politics than sr. leadership will admit to. No investment in facilities and work environment is poorly maintained. Not for everyone.
