Pros

Flat managerial structure means minimal bureaucracy compared to equally sized corporations. The average worker may only be 5 managers removed from the CEO whereas a similar organization would be upwards of 20. Strong management retention. DBS approach works. Strong communication of business status to employees.

Cons

Use of pay cuts over furlough days. Non-existent raises for non-technical and technical positions regardless of performance. Management's carrot-and-stick approach to motivating employees, promising reward but never delivering.

Pros

My experience at Danaher was overwhelmingly positive. Great place to innovate and to see your contributions make a different. DBS taught me so much.

Cons

I don't think there is a drawback to working for Danaher. But everyone has their own experiences.
