Pros

Company is always looking for ways to improve and will embrace good ideas to try. The Danaher Business Systems (DBS) is a system that will allow individuals to contribute ideas that can be implmented and tried...best saying is "Don't letter perfect get in the way of better".

Cons

- Continuous cost reduction leads to good people getting let go and "brain trust" of the company leaving. Many people don't like the current President Amir. - Extremely aggressive targets for sale people make it hard to make quota - Lack of investment in R&D has led to a portfolio that is making it more and more difficult to win against the competitors - Appears they are putting all their energy into acquiring companies instead of organic investment (ie. RF products) - President doesn't care if sales people leave for another company, believes we will replace them with someone making less money.

Extremely smart engineers in Oregon, generally has a decent culture, invincible brand name

Cons

Company profit isn't being reinvested into itself, parent company controls all profit. This can be seen in lack of NPIs.
