Pros

Continuous improvement is baked into the culture and values the contributions of all employees.

Cons

Under Danaher, the biggest emphasis is to deliver financial results to shareholders above the communities and employees if needed for profitability.

Pros

Interesting software, interesting products. The team that remains in Beaverton was a top notch group of Engineers. They were/are very bright and talented. The team produced a number of unique and valuable tools to support the manufacturing process and the quality control of the manufactured devices.

Cons

It was difficult to help transition a big chunk of the manufacturing software engineering jobs to Shanghai China. However, those who lost their jobs were treated fairly and equitably.

Pros

This is for the Wilsonville site, now Xerox. It was a great place to learn the product development process, and how real products are made. Very technically competent co-workers. Good management at the middle level.

Cons

The upper levels of management and especially those in the financial arm of the company took over and sold out all the jobs and development to offshore. I left before much of this happened, for other reasons. I left in 1996 (the year listed above is incorrect). I would contact former colleagues over the next few years only to learn that most of them had also left or gotten laid off. This is not an usual outcome for a hardware technology company. America is scared of hardware development since it has higher up-front costs than say developing a webpage or a mobile phone app.
