Pros

The people that worked there before Danaher bought, the benefits are okay.

Cons

Absolutely no work-life balance. Managers make it clear that their precious bottom line should be your mission in life. Not that you'll see any of that bonus! Raises are garbage, the performance reviews are scaled from 1-5 and they tell you that a 3 is awarded for 100% effort, absolutely doing your expected duties correctly, etc. Raises are on par with review scores. It's another way they cut to profit, which is also a common theme. Whether it's people, resources, tooling, or time, you won't have enough. Write-ups for petty things are rampant.

Thanks for the feedback, sorry to hear your experience was negative. It's a high performance culture that pays for performance, but the experience for vast majority of people is very different than what you have described here. Especially as the company has evolved over the past couple of years. Our people are key to our success, and we'll continue to focus on that fact. Lots of great examples every day of good work life balance and very competitive pay and benefit structures.
