Horrible Conpany, blind eye to misconduct of employees and customer base

Field service engineer (fse)

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Pay with plenty of overtime.

Cons

Will deny employee assault and battery, also turned blind eye to customer sexual harassment to protect lucrative contract. Would prefer to make up performance issues even after an exemplary annual review from direct manager to protect harassment by customer, customer accused employee was later terminated, but only after Advantest acted to protect the contract.
