Pros

Good products that help patients

Cons

The CEO and other execs are clueless about the day-to-day operations (things that keep the company running daily) and consistently pile on additional tasks that are detrimental to the long term health of the company. A lot of; do exactly as you're told and don't use your experience/background/intelligence to find a better way. Way too many directors, senior directors, VPs, senior VPs, Exec VPs,..turnover is easily over 50%.

Pros

Danaher came in and this new ceo will be better than the last one. Innovative devices that make a real difference in clinical environments. Talented, dedicated engineers and individual contributors who are passionate about quality and results. Competitive benefits and resources supporting the technical work.

Cons

senior leadership appear disconnected from actual operations. They often seem to know little about the day-to-day realities and contribute minimal practical value, leading to poor decisions, bottlenecks, and wasted effort for the teams doing the real work. Increasing bureaucracy and top-heavy structure that slows down progress despite the strong capabilities of the people on the ground. A noticeable gap between executive influence and actual impact, which is frustrating even as a newcomer observing it. Key talent and legacy know-how are leaving at a concerning rate, which makes newcomers like me nervous about the company’s long-term knowledge retention and stability. Gossip is rampant, further eroding trust and team cohesion.
