Pros

Great and hard-working engineers to work with and learn from (till they get fired or quit). Good brand-name in the technology community (for now).

Cons

Company hired many new managers (women in particular) and individuals who have no pertinent experience. Fired experienced (expensive) people to cut down cost. Stopped investing in new product so the financial statements can shine (maybe for a year or two).

Pros

Good for punching your card if T&M is on your career path. Make sure you only stay a maximum of 4 years. Good finance based business practices, very little engineering contribution to business plans as had previously been the case. Great place to advance as a woman in this field, as there is a strong initiative towards advancing more women into the company upper ranks.

Cons

Regular “house cleaning” in jettisoning senior staff every Q4. It’s been this way for the last 8 years I’ve been here. Fortive accounting teams run the business and heavily tax the businesses within Tek. Not the typical sort of high tech engineering run place. Not certain if this is good or bad, it’s just an observation. Not a place where you can settle and raise a family, given Tek’s tenancy to “strongly incentivize your departure” if you advance to senior levels. Intense vertical compression of the company, has led to a LOT of downsizing and is constantly re-organizing it’s remaining teams. Pretty much bank on a new manager every 10 months. Very little continuity in projects, with the priority of what you work on changing on a daily basis. Nearly impossible to see the final results of your work, as you will be moved to another program before one completes your current project. Engineering resources are a constant “shell game”.
