Pros

For the most part, Tektronix has a friendly work environment. Most people are honest, hard-working team players. Tek usually offers above-average pay and fairly good health/dental/vision plans.

Cons

Management is in such a hurry to get new products out the door, they don't give the engineers enough time to do the job right anymore. A lot of good engineers have left the company, because they're tired of putting out crappy products that could have been really great. Also, if you're not a "professional" (i.e. marketing manager, engineer, or program manager), management isn't that interested in helping you further your education or career goals.

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.
