Svantaggi
- Culture is now a Danaher "OpCo" culture - just like Fluke; understaffed and overstretched - Internally focused on bowler metrics and countermeasures to address GAPs to stretch plans - Stock awards only to Director level and above = no retention plans for below Director level - Growth is only through acquisition (not organic product development) - Low tolerance for investment-intensive lumpy businesses - Key management jobs sourced externally - other OpCos or competitors - Frequent medical plan supplier changes that affect your network providers - 120 day payment terms make it very difficult to work with external suppliers. Some local vendors won't work with Tektronix. - Annual layoffs in Oct-Nov right before the holidays. Beware if you have more than 15 years with the company.
