Pros

The biggest benefit of being under Danaher umbrella is about to end soon. To be honest I don't know who writes these positive reviews because I don't know a single person working there that would share it.

Cons

The support is overloaded with flood of client issues. Most of the CloudOps team is clueless. Management let go people that understood the products and moved a lot of development to offshore teams. Toxic culture from the headquarters. No time for personal development. No work - life balance.

Pros

Work is always interesting, challenging, and changing. There's never really a dull day if you work on the side that interfaces with the software. I can't say how it is to work in the overhead departments.

Cons

They treat the employees like numbers. If you work harder than your neighbor, they don't acknowledge it when it comes time to advance in salary or in the company. Your best bet is to get hired at a high salary and fight for any increase if they decide to give it. They always put the customer first (when it comes to money). I have heard of other colleagues getting thrown under the bus because a customer was unhappy (and incorrect). If the sale is done, they no longer care about customer support. I have heard a customer complain about being sold the wrong thing and someone internal will respond with, "but we already collected the commission! Just smooth it over." Very little open spaces to advance into. They talk about possible positions, but they are few and far in between. Once an opening comes along, it seems like it's been a few years since the last occurrence. Even then, it seems they are partial to hire people within certain cliques rather than credentials. They are more likely to throw you into the position and learn your own way, than train you ahead of time and ease you into it. If you have a travel position, it's more likely you'll travel 85% of the time rather than the 70% they say.

Pros

Work Remotely Danaher Benefits New CEO Corporate travel card versus personal expense and reimbursment Depending on your manager little to zero communication, which leads to flexibility and little micromanagement (Until revenue targets are missed)

Cons

Minimal Career Advancement Management Cliques Management is constantly changing Management only supports themselves (Gives themselves internal training, and picks and chooses the best projects to be apart of) Management takes credit for individual contributors work Componensation is based off the printing industry not the IT industry North America is not alligned with EMEA counterpart. They operator entirly seperated Esko has a monopoly on industry. Charges extreme prices and provides poor customer service, and experiences to its clients. Hires entry level emplyees for senior level roles and compensates them higher than long term employees because of demand.
