Not what it used to be...

Pros

Nice QUALITY products on the Advantest side. Decent benefits and competitive pay as long as you're not living in a high cost of living place like California.

Cons

Place has gone down hill fast after the merger in 2011. Things were never thinned after the merger and now to much upper management and newly added bureaucracy make doing quality work difficult. Main corporate in Japan will not cut the fat so subsidiary's are cut to the bone leaving little support, and now more people leaving the company after 10+ years of service because company is not what it used to be.
