Pros
Danaher runs a tight, financially strong operation. The DBS playbook is time-tested, and the company continues to grow through strategic acquisitions.
Cons
For all the talk about Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, Danaher’s support often feels limited to a narrow spectrum. If you’re not Black or White, you’re often invisible in the system—especially when you challenge norms or drive bold change. A respected Brown leader recently leading breakthrough innovation and enterprise transformation was pushed out, despite delivering results, due to internal politics. Meanwhile, an equally competent white co-leader, working alongside with him on the same initiative got promoted; a troubling inconsistency that many have quietly noticed. DEI loses its meaning if it doesn’t extend to all voices and backgrounds.
