Pros

life/work balance, decent pay. Flexible for the most part schedule.

Cons

Don't be more passionate about the success of tektronix than your manager or have a higher sense of urgency in taking care of the customer, than your manager. If you are, keep it to yourself or you be labeled as negative and ostracized. No matter how frustrated you get about equipment, processes, incompetent employees, it will be ignored until of course there's risk of losing a big customer. Smile and roll with it.

Pros

Not a great time to work here

Pros

Free coffee and hot water.

Cons

Work environment is hostile towards racial and sexual minorities. Promises of promotions that never come. Pressure to work nights and weekends. Was verbally pressured to work during paid holidays. Compensation below average. HR treats you like a problem and starts monitoring you if you complain. Frequent layoffs with no warning and bare legal minimum severance. No opportunities for advancement or development. Performance reviews are quota-based and arbitrary.
