Pros

No pros. I wouldn’t recommend working here. Leadership is outdated, and the overall mindset feels misaligned with modern, transparent management.

Cons

Leadership operates with low transparency and high control of information. The culture can feel like corporate “spin” designed to keep people in place until the next restructuring. Process accountability is poor: it’s easier to look away than fix what’s broken. The company talks Danaher Business System, but too often it feels like optics instead of execution. Don’t expect real career development. Expect to be treated as headcount, measured by output, and replaced when strategy shifts.

Lovely people all trying to do the right thing.

No real collaboration at the senior level. Vision is not clear, and not always aligned. Inconsistent decision making.
