Pros

Flexible working hours Good Products May be few more

Cons

Very bad local management during my stay in Tek. Immediate and country managers always want to protect their interests. However most were fired during downsizing. Low moral in employees. In fighting between managers made customer experience worst and field team on receiving end. Bad local application support except couple of guys. Lot of politics..be it finance..HR..sales... applications.. mrktg..or service support... all concerned about their personal goals than overall objective. Anyway I hear that even new management is not so good...however still few managers have been able to survive who continue to play politics and blame game. They know for sure they cant get any job in any other company with such paychecks... So they want to cut others n play safe. Nothing can improve unless all this crabs are removed from the organization. Because the crab mentality doesnt allow them to see the success of others.

Pros

Excellent technology Great application team in India Before Danaher, lot of independence was provided to individuals

Cons

Poor senior management Non existant HR Bad vertical managers in many verticals including sales, finance etc. Too much focus on sales targets, month wise and at the end week wise, just imagine --they sell capital products. Lots of reporting with Danaher, but without a purpose -- we never understood the benefit from it. Extremely low employee morale. ( out of a strength of about 50 in 2007 when Danaher acquired, now i guess their are hardly 6/7 remaining from that team which achieved the best ever sales in India till date. This had many achievements where we penetrated a lot of Agilent accounts, but now i recently visited one of this MNCs in design and the design head informed me that though Tek still has good products, they as a company have decided to avoid Tektronix as the company is not stable, stalwarts in Tek on whom this customer relied have all left and the new guys do not provide any support technically, only ask for orders.
