Pros

Fantastic talented people, comprehensive benefit package provided at low (comparably) employee cost, excellent 401K program; competitive salaries, exposure to Kaizen principles through the Danaher Business System (DBS).

Cons

The requirement is that you become so bogged down in paperwork-- documenting what you do at each step of your day in a way that makes it difficult to get anything measurable done, which exasperatingly from a management perspective reflects failure of the staff, not the systems. Too much conflicting directive from the various management teams and department create confusion across the board. Lack of consistency and continuous staff turnover makes it hard to feel stable and committed.

Pros

Tektronix has an amazing amount of engineering depth. There are people who are world renowned experts in their area sitting in the cube down the hall. My coworkers are friendly, supportive and encouraging.

Cons

Danaher and senior Tektronix management doesn't seem to understand that Tektronix designs & builds technology for technologists. Danaher is all about creating efficiency, not about creating technology. Vision about technology is sorely lacking in senior management. Tek needs a technologist with vision to lead the company. Sadly the right people for the job have either left on their own or have been let go because they don’t easily fit into the Danaher mold. That doesn’t bode well for Tektronix maintaining market leadership.
