Pros

good work/life balance; average benefits; on-site fitness center

Cons

Tek is an operating company run by a conglomerate (Fortive) who takes all the profit and leaves just enough behind to keep the company running - crap raises, no ESPP/stock options

Pros

Storied history and name in the industry

Cons

Tektronix has lost its identity. New management doesn’t understand T&M business. No longer hires from within but focusing on people from semiconductor industry who don’t understand T&M business nor do they want to. Slowly becoming a low cost, low performance, scope vendor with non technical, low cost commodity sales people. They’ve lost their technological edge and are no longer seen as experts in the industry.

Pros

Still has some very talented engineers. Work/life balance is good.

Cons

- Very, very, very slow moving company that is overburdened by deadwood middle managers. - employees below VP level do not count and are treated as expendable - no loyalty...in fact long-term employees are considered high cost and there is often effort to replace them with younger "lower cost" new hires - wrong place for hard-charging ambitious people as it will drain your energy through negativity and being pulled down by the deadwood middle management
