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.

Great team and pay, but constant restructuring issues

Service sales manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Loved the team, pay was acceptable, and the big name helped when acquiring new accounts. With such a large install base of proprietary equipment it made the service selling so much easier.

Cons

company restructures every three months and is so big that anything outside of the HVAC was not readily know by internal staff. had to figure out what went into a new business projection on my own over the course of 3 months.
