Gilbarco Veeder-Root Reviews

The Danaher religion really gets a bit much. I like the idea of having a toolbox to get good tools and processes from but instead it's a bible that must be followed even when it's not relevant to what you do. In Gilbarco's case, the problem comes trying to apply what are largely manufacturing processes to software engineering.

- Lots (and lots) of ego - you'd better be a political mastermind if you plan to grow outside of your immediate box - Most of senior leadership is type-a - not that type-a is bad, you just need to be aware that the culture rewards type-a - Very low employee engagement scores - lowest within the overall corporation, means people are very disgruntled - Very strong bias towards individuals from top MBA programs - double standards run rampant Gilbarco is a solid option, and not a bad choice if you are actively considering an offer. Just don't let the glamour of the Fortive/Danaher name blind you, because you will quickly find that there is little substance behind the name, and most of it involves you making sacrifices for the broader company. In all fairness, I do believe management is aware of their problems and is attempting to fix them.
