Culture of fear with high turnover in leadership

Plant manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

New CEO, driven by lack of substance - process over content. Concepts like Gemba hyped and used an instrument to downplay past success which led to 3x growth in company. DBS playbook, where Danaher hasn’t grown ITSELF touted as the next engine. Culture of fear

Cons

Said above - heavy political environment. Very heavy turnover of senior execs. Understandable somehow you need to convince that future is better than past by coming up with concepts like DBS that create internal focus rather than external competitive focus. Yearly improvement vs actual market leading progressive.

Pros

Better Commute than previous company.

Cons

Boy..where do I start. If your a seasoned engineer stay clear away. You will be extremely disapointed and bored of the day to day work. Very little, if no engineering projects. However, If your're a recent graduate, you might (I stress might) learn some engineering to add to your resume that will help lead you to a much better company after a few years. Great Setting stone for novice engineers.
