Pros

There are some talented Engineers that, not sure why they stay

Cons

1. Danaher, Fortive did not understand how to leverage Tektronix Engineering strengths into businesses for the 21st Century. They instead hired Generic leaders and focused on pedigree (Top 5 MBA graduates) as opposed to Industry knowledge. 2. Danaher, a process driven company, did not have the ability to structure the company for expanding into new markets. 3. Fortive drove the process even harder by focusing on using poor performance reviews/ratings for Senior Engineers and Managers as a slimy and cowardly way to reduce labor expenses.

Pros

Culture Team Collaboration Most Benefits

Cons

Could use more investments in the workplace (outdated with deferred maintenance). Recent history of under-investing in New Products. This is changing, but well behind competitors. Extreme expense management for a consistent amount of time leads to a noticeable drop in innovation and innovative spirit.
