Tektronix Employee Review

Current Employee – been working at Tektronix full-time for more than 10 years

Pros – Company is always looking for ways to improve and will embrace good ideas to try. The Danaher Business Systems (DBS) is a system that will allow individuals to contribute ideas that can be implmented and tried...best saying is "Don't letter perfect get in the way of better".

Cons – - Continuous cost reduction leads to good people getting let go and "brain trust" of the company leaving. Many people don't like the current President Amir.
- Extremely aggressive targets for sale people make it hard to make quota
- Lack of investment in R&D has led to a portfolio that is making it more and more difficult to win against the competitors
- Appears they are putting all their energy into acquiring companies instead of organic investment (ie. RF products)
- President doesn't care if sales people leave for another company, believes we will replace them with someone making less money.

Advice to Senior Management – Change the President to a person people want to follow..real change occurs from the top.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
