Interviewed Jan 2011 in Boulder, CO (took 2 days)
- Creepy personality Test which took forever
- 4 one-on-one interviews once they fly you out to one of the portfolio companies
- Looking for "strength of character" or "mettle" or something like that. Basically, VERY important to provide a story (or several) or a time when you did something very unpopular because you had to or it was right. They want to make sure you'll be able to fire employees if you need to.

Interviewed Nov 2009 (took 8 weeks)
Applied via my school and on line at their website. Was brought in for an on-campus interview and went through the first round. Was supposed to hear back about the second round within three weeks. Was then told that the second round was being delayed for a month. Never heard back until February when I was told they were no longer hiring for this year.

Interviewed Nov 2009 (took 5 days)
Initial interview was with HR Manager. Her goal was to confirm that my education and work experience met the basic requirements for the role. Basic behavioral questions were asked - Why Danaher etc.
My second interview was with the VP of Marketing. He was specifically intereested in New Product Development. Wall Street appears to ding Danaher for not driving more organic growth. The company is great at M&A and cutting out the fat. Now Wall Street wants to see Product Development.
So if you are looking at Danaher make sure you have significant New Product Development expereince to speak to.

Interviewed Jan 2010 (took a day)
I just got an on campus interview through a job fair. It was a 30 minute behavioral interview. Basic question like:
-Why Danaher?
-If I just had 2 minutes to know you, what would you tell me?
-Do you like to work under supervision or not?
-What keeps you going?
I got an e-mail a week later, saying that I was not selected for second round.

Interviewed Oct 2009 in Richardson, TX (took a day)
Danaher conducts the interview process with a high level of professionalism. After being selected for an interview and the date is selected Danaher takes care of booking all of the candidates travel and accomodations for the visit. The interview consisted of one on one interviews with human resources and senior management and a group interview with middle management. Senior Managment appeared to be extremely motivated and exited about the long term opportunities at Danaher.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
The company was ultimately not able to put together a competative offer. Benefits such as 401k and vacation are not competative with what other companies in the industry offer.
