Pros

6-7 years ago MDS was the most wonderful place I had ever worked. Then Danaher took over and replaced all of management in the service department. The only thing that mattered was growing the bottom line.

Cons

If growing the bottom line meant "gouging customers", so be it. If growing the bottom line meant "firing senior engineers", so be it. If growing the bottom line meant "destroying long-term relationships", so be it.

Pros

Don’t have any to share.

Cons

One of the worst companies to work for. Poor management- only chasing revenue numbers, lack of sympathy, lack of respect. So many people including VPs and Sr directors have left recently. That should tell you a lot about rotten organization. Compensation isn’t as competitive as other companies either. Very rigid structure.
