Pros
- Honest and ethical company. No worries about impropriety, bribes, illegal activity at Danaher. - Tries to communicate downstream well - Salaries are fairly decent for mid/senior mgmt.
Cons
- Tries to push a "one size fits all" model onto all OpCos, when in reality, many OpCos might actually perform better if DHR just left them alone or allowed customization of the DBS toolset to fit each OpCo blended needs. - DBS is really just Common Sense, but the "one size fits all" formula is pounded into the OpCos so much it just becomes a tiresome distraction from running your OpCo how you and your team know best. - Well over half the people drink the Kool-Aid because they must to survive, but don't really believe in all the DBS hype. - Can be quite competitive; not always a bad thing. - For tech companies (like Fluke, TekComms, Arbor, VSS, Teletrac or even radically consider all OpCos) DHR really should consider granting equity as part of the overall comp and retention package to all fulltime exempt employees. - In general, DHR is a fairly unfun and dull place to work, but sometimes the work just isn't that sexy, either.
