Made a BIG mistake of joining them

Pros

Honestly, I can't think of any Pros. Maybe one or two good colleagues whom I worked with, but that's it.

Cons

The list is long. I had joined Dental Imaging Tech organization (under Danahar) starting of Jan 2017 as a software Test Engineer. This was a new position that they were trying to fit in, so they can improve their process. Let me tell you, as a software tester, I got no respect, had no value, people were against taking us ( me and other tester). It took management, 4 months, to decide our role in the company!!! How RIDICULOUS?! I got laid off just recently and my last day was Jan 2nd 2018. These people found the "perfect" time to break the news to me, a day before my vacation and holidays. Just imagine some, 200 people who were let go, went thru. This was the biggest mistake I made in my life! My previous job paid less, but at least working environment wasn't messed up.

Great company to invest in as an investor but not as an employee serving share holders

Pros

Many great people with good intentions. Some very strong and humble leaders. Very good place to learn and move on.

Cons

Endless RIFs in pursuit of ultimate LEAN means no job security and no work life balance. Mindless and mind numbing bureaucracy in many areas sucks life out of you when you try to get a job done.
