TEKTRONIX Employer Reviews

management pathetic
co workers lazy
long hours under appreciated

I was promoted to supervisor. My employees make more money than I do. I was promised a raise in April along with being put on the "OPs Bonus". 2 months after my promotion they changed their mind about the OPs bonus and in April I found out they changed thier mind about the raise too. I have an employee that show up at whatever time suits him and whatever – more... days suit him. When I tried a peformance plan, write up, or termination they were all denied. This employee consistantly shows up 2 to 3 hours late. Tektronix will not let me do anything about it because the attrition rate will go up if he leaves. He has had 2 raises and a promotion this year and granted flexible work hours, meanwhile I can't promote a good technician because the budget is not there. Tektronix is all about the numbers, share holders, and upper management bonuses and craps on it's employees that do a good job. You need to be a jerk that shows up late, turns equipment with no reguard for standards, defies your management, and threatens to leave. If you have the criteria listed you will go far at tektronix. – less

Work was fun, often involving tracking down and resolving specific software are hardware problems. Hardest part of the job was dealing with outsourcing of jobs and transfer of manufacturing to Asia.

The facility I was emploied at was inconsistant witht eh core falues of the parent Company.

Some management resistant to change while rest of company embraces DBS

TEST AND MEASUREMENT EQUIPMENT. NO DIRECT SET SCHEDULE WITH FLEXIBLE HRS. LEADERSHIP IS VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE AND BUSINESS MINDED.

The company could not find/keep a good driver. I constantly had do do both my job and the drivers job. Working with the calibration technicians was very enjoyable and a great learning experience.

I have 20 yrs experience working with and around production under different disciplines, for a company as large as Intel to as small as Bioject. I have worked in the ecr/eco process and implemented changes and improvements. I have designed products from concept to production, dealing with in house vendors such as purchasing, production, R&D, and Marketing. – more... I have dealt with out of house recourses to ensure a quality product, worked hand in hand with machine shops to ensure quality in the parts they are producing. – less

It was a sad experience working there, they treated me very unfair, I was NOT apprecited my skil and my effort by Tektronix.

I wish I would never had left. I worked with engineers to develop a color printer.

This place makes ISO 9000 look like a picnic. Way too much brearucracy, paperwork and silly stuff that eats up all your time such you can't get any real engineering work done. Couldn't deal with it, left after a while.

Tektronix was a great company to work for, they managed acquisitions well, treated their staff well, had fair compensation and good strategy and growth in their market. Tek was acquired by Danaher, large operating company. This change in ownership turned Tektronix from a great company into a mediocre part of an enormous company. It still has a lot of – more... great staff and good products but it is not the same. – less
