Pros

The employees at the lower level of the company are great.

Cons

Danaher bought out a small company and it was like being a boiling frog with all the changes they made. What was once a family feel turned into a company ran on numbers and metrics with no disregard to the story behind the numbers. Multiple re-organizations within a few year timeframe where they cut the fat each time. Their severance agreements are a joke and despite being a billion dollar company - will do anything to save a buck and do not care for their employees.
