Very business focused where employees were expected to perform at not 100% capacity but at 110%.

Pros

Employees are encouraged to strive for excellence at all times which also motivates personal growth. There are many opportunities to learn and expand your knowledge as well as training. Many great people work there, the most enjoyable part of the job was to be around such wonderful people.

Cons

Due to the constant pressure the company puts on their employees it is a very stressful to be an employee there. Employees are required to conduct many self assessments each year but are rarely rewarded for their efforts.

Can be a good place, but much of the DBS Tools are just a distraction

Senior management at the opco level

Pros

- Honest and ethical company. No worries about impropriety, bribes, illegal activity at Danaher. - Tries to communicate downstream well - Salaries are fairly decent for mid/senior mgmt.

Cons

- Tries to push a "one size fits all" model onto all OpCos, when in reality, many OpCos might actually perform better if DHR just left them alone or allowed customization of the DBS toolset to fit each OpCo blended needs. - DBS is really just Common Sense, but the "one size fits all" formula is pounded into the OpCos so much it just becomes a tiresome distraction from running your OpCo how you and your team know best. - Well over half the people drink the Kool-Aid because they must to survive, but don't really believe in all the DBS hype. - Can be quite competitive; not always a bad thing. - For tech companies (like Fluke, TekComms, Arbor, VSS, Teletrac or even radically consider all OpCos) DHR really should consider granting equity as part of the overall comp and retention package to all fulltime exempt employees. - In general, DHR is a fairly unfun and dull place to work, but sometimes the work just isn't that sexy, either.

Pros

Large company, many people know the stock

Cons

in every meeting you have to give 15 minutes for whom you are speaking with to indulge you on what a great find THEY are. They hire less then competent people in Executive titles that waste more money and time the one has to give
