      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Will gain great experience and knowledge, especially when involved heavily with DBS (Danaher Business Systems) - Can drive amazing short term results

      Cons

      - Shark Tank! - Nothing matters other than metrics, cost savings, and results for the sake of upper management and shareholders; leads to massive shortcutting and neglecting of core values and top two publicized metrics (Safety, Quality) - DBS can be utilized for better purposes; company talks the talk but doesn't walk the walk - Impossible to succeed at OpCos (subsidiaries) that have been leaned out (anorexic state) and suffering from lack of reinvestment while cost metrics become more rigid; Danaher succeeds while subsidiaries eventually fail

      Danaher delivers on its promises to associates & customers

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great focus on continuous improvement in a collegial, non-blaming environment. Great opportunities for career growth across the many companies Danaher owns. Wide variety of science, technology and environmental companies under the Danaher umbrella. Senior management is excellent. Lots of highly intelligent people in the company.

      Cons

      Sometimes the decentralized nature of the company means several operating companies are duplicating efforts. Like most publicly-traded companies there is an intense focus on meeting Wall Street's numbers each quarter.
