Pros

They have a decent COVID product, however, that revenue stream has pretty much dried up and the future is uncertain.

Cons

The managers are trained to comply with Danaher Business Systems (DBS). It involves a lot of micro-managing. Your managers will think they know better than you, and they'll force you to do tasks that are not optimal or irrelevant. They have no idea what's going on and just ask you questions. Then when you find the solution, they take credit for throwing their suggestion in the air. Your hard work goes into their promotions and their bonuses.
