- 3.0Oct 26, 2023Corporate ExecutiveCurrent Employee, more than 1 year
Pros
Depends on what you want Fantastic place for those in STEM - Develop life saving innovations that really matter! Great for process driven people who need formulaic, repeatable steps. If you love production or manufacturing, it's a dream house. Able to change jobs indefinitely within the company and its subsidiaries. Could work here entire life. Pays well. People seem generally "good" natured and fun-loving. No evil vibes. Great place for assembly line and lower management workers who want repeatable jobs and process improvement Work life balance is not bad compared to other high performing companies
Cons
Overly process driven - Feels like you cannot cross the street without jumping through a dozen hoops. Feels like process > best answer. Progress is SLOW! Risk averse - Being empirical based is great, but being overly analytical stifles innovation. Allergic to outside expertise - Focus on hiring from within + Internal methodology is strong in some areas, but it's treated like the gospel and external expertise is devalued and underappreciated. Creates lack of trust and confidence. Hierarchal - Employees seem hesitant to speak out of line to challenge senior leadership. Many people seem in it for the long run (protect jobs > best result). Bad Decision Making - Constant feeling that senior executives don't really know what their doing (excluding delivering production related results), but won't trust those who do to steer the ship, Make short term decisions despite functional best practices. Diversity and Inclusion - Old fashioned and slow moving; Good intentioned white men who were great at sales still run the company - they try their best but unclear of the best steps to take; hesitant to make bold moves or trust those who know. Unknown and disconnected - Working here won't scratch your ego around big brand names. Decentralized nature is wasting tons of resources and synergies. Sparks of change beginning to shine but issues above will slow and stifle.

1 - 2.0Sep 24, 2023ManagerCurrent Employee, more than 10 yearsMiamisburg, OH
Pros
Big corporation seems stable ..
Cons
Big corporation that’s not really stable. Danaher has tons of processes and some of them might be good if properly implemented. However, upper management seems to care more about following processes than modifying processes to meet actual need. There has been no positive movement as far as helping customers in the last 5ish years.
4 - 4.0Oct 14, 2023Business AnalystFormer EmployeeFramingham, MA
Pros
Good teams, processes and WFH.
Cons
Management push from top down
- 1.0Oct 24, 2023Quality EngineerFormer Employee, more than 5 yearsNew Port Richey, FL
Pros
Slow pace, managers are lasy, and so the pace is slow.
Cons
Incompetent new CEO and Managers are destroying the company’s reputation and loosing great sales opportunity. New managers do not understand the business and make nonsense changes just to show they are doing something (indeed they are, but it is good just for the competition).
