Pros

I have never worked with so many smart people in one place! Very enjoyable co-workers with mostly realistic expectations of how much work one can accomplish. Lots of opportunity for growth. Good support for whatever career path you are interested in pursuing. Decent benefits, they have a couple of extra floating holidays, which is nice.

Cons

If you don't have strong boundaries they will gladly let you work yourself to death. You MUST be good at saying "No”. Kind-of a dreary office environment, lots of grey walls, grey cubes, grey floors, etc. They say their mission is water quality for people around the world. But like most companies, this is about making money. And they make LOTS of money. The margins here are so high it's actually a little embarrassing. As with all Danaher company profits flow directly to the top of the food chain and to share-holders.

Pros

Decent pay, good hours, fairly simple tasks, some hybrid flexibility.

Cons

Constant micromanaging of performance and KPIs. Performance is posted to the entire department with each error highlighted, be it minor or major. I was actively discourage from asking for help, or questions if I was unsure about an aspect of the job. Myself and my cohort were also actively discouraged from speaking or communicating with one another. This bred more competition and animosity between some employees in tandem with the constant focus on KPIs and comparing scores. Contract-to-hire was on a case-by-case basis and was said to be performance based as well as seniority based. This didn't always track as managers would be inclined to favoritism and certain employees would get fast-tracked or left behind their initial hire groups without explanation. Terrible first responder system for medical emergencies and education to employees on how to handle it (which occurred frequently).
