Pros

Good work-life balance. Interesting projects. Appropriate technology to get the job done is always provided. Great vacation benefits. Competitive pay. Near Portland, which is a super-great city to live in. Good health benefits, including domestic partner coverage.

Cons

Not too progressive when it comes to product innovations. If you're not an electrical engineer, you're probably not going to advance too far. I think it would be a hard place to work as a woman...constant need to prove yourself. Also, it's a fairly conservative social crowd. People seldom move from one position or group to another. They tend to stay in one job in one department for many years, which means that people get very set in their ways.

Pros

Tektronix had a great history and reputation in the Portland area and the high tech industry. Benefits very generous, employees collegial, most middle managers good to work for, only a few exceptions. Very nice campus, many buildings remodeled.

Cons

Things never really improved after senior leadership changed in the early 2000's. Some communication improved, but decision-making and support of strategies in human resources was horrendous due to the inability to select an executive who would either stay, was qualified, or actually knew anything about the function. Really a shame - in a way the function that should have been most supportive of employee relations ended up imploding on itself.
