Pros

Fair pay for new employees. Typical benefits provided Used to be remote first Fairly good team members

Cons

Parent company (Fortive) is hardware manufacturing focused, very involved, if not domineering, and highly political. Their focus on process outweighs the reality of the products, obvious market opportunities and existential threats. Software experts that are Agile focused, experimental, iterative are quickly isolated and demonized but not managed or fired Major swings in leadership and strategy. No real vision for the company - they have one but it's pretty milk-toast because nobody is willing to commit to BHAGS HR process/overhead is out of control. Top down hierarchy and decisions, even the reversible ones, don't get made quickly or effectively, let alone resourced appropriately Lots of passive-aggressive behavior and leaders are rarely direct with employees. There has been a massive brain drain over the past few years. Most of their senior talent either walked out the door or was escorted by new leadership blaming them as the problem (it wasn't). Everest sized mountains of tech debt in the products to the point that it stifles and stops innovation even if management and it's top down culture hadn't already.

Pros

Lots of potential across their portfolio. Standard benefits. OK work/life balance (if you're remote). Very interested in creating a culture of improvement - but not necessarily innovation like you'd expect at a software company (See Cons).

Cons

Parent company is way too involved and tries to run this software company like a hardware company (which is most of their portfolio). Aging tech and design of their product portfolio. There was a very toxic political culture when I was there, but that may have changed. Lots of brain drain over the past few years of their most experience leaders and software engineers. No equity (except for some "high potential" hires and some VPs and above... which creates rifts between the haves, the have nots and management - it's common that a high demand new hire gets equity like AI engineers and data scientists, but their manager does not have equity and has to be able to answer questions about their equity as part of their comp.
