Pros

something real one can do to help the world, because it is about water analysis and water is about life

Cons

Being a part of Danaher corporation since ~2000, in the last 5-6 years Hach has become a typical product of corporate America. You do not want to be a manager there if you value your subordinates and peers, the only way to succeed is to manage up. In the same time, one cannot really advance in the company being an individual contributor - there is no career path laid out for such people...

Pros

Decent pay, good hours, fairly simple tasks, some hybrid flexibility.

Cons

Constant micromanaging of performance and KPIs. Performance is posted to the entire department with each error highlighted, be it minor or major. I was actively discourage from asking for help, or questions if I was unsure about an aspect of the job. Myself and my cohort were also actively discouraged from speaking or communicating with one another. This bred more competition and animosity between some employees in tandem with the constant focus on KPIs and comparing scores. Contract-to-hire was on a case-by-case basis and was said to be performance based as well as seniority based. This didn't always track as managers would be inclined to favoritism and certain employees would get fast-tracked or left behind their initial hire groups without explanation. Terrible first responder system for medical emergencies and education to employees on how to handle it (which occurred frequently).
