Pros

Solid reputation in industry. Good core technologies, but they are beginning to lag. They are global and you will likely get to work with people from several continents over your career.

Cons

Health plan only looks good on paper; there are a lot of gaps in coverage. Frequent layoffs in the last year. The new CEO lacks his own vision. He is still following the previous CEO's lead.

Pros

Donaldson is eager to promote internal employees rather than hire outside. In five years, I have seen three engineering technicians (with engineering degrees) promoted to engineer. Donaldson is also very progressive as far as EHS implementation goes

Cons

Some individual managers do not fit the company's great safety first, employee development focused culture - there seems to be little drive for frontline managers to treat their employees with respect, and an understanding that they will be protected by HR or their immediate superiors

Pros

The lower level people in the company.

Cons

Management Hr They like to pile on more work and no more pay If you do your job good you get to do other people's jobs too. Don't try to move up because they will tell you you're not qualified then hire someone off of the street with zero knowledge you have to train.
