Managers look out for themselves, disregard employees.

Engineering employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

One on one interactions with specific hardware, software, mechanical engineers. Some wonderful individuals in an overall negative, difficult, dispiriting environment.

Cons

The work environment includes many individuals who put in 100% without acknowledgment or reward. The ingredients to create a strong work environment are present in these people. But the preponderance of managers who have no regard for their employees prevents that.

Business Outlook

Pros

Fact based management style. Individual goals tightly linked to corporate strategy. Challenging industry with complex products and markets create business cycles that are exciting to manage.

Cons

Global recession created a brutal forced-distribution performance curve to help slash and burn through spending and headcount. Off-shoring and outsourcing accelerated a culture of downsizing that pervaded the entire organization. Despite this strategy, company stock price is 10% of what it was at its all time high.

Teradyne - We solve Hard problems---- the hard way

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Interesting technology that pushes the limits of the technology. Surrounded by some very bright people with varied interests. Nice campus Great cafeteria!

Cons

layoffs nearly every quarter. Overstaffing in one area to get job accomplished quickly then "Skills rebalancing", translation we are done with you now and need to get rid of you to hire a different skill set. Outsourcing of areas that should remain a core competancy. Recrruiting the "best and brightest from key Universities and then not giving them any mentoring. Resulting in often bright innovative ideas, though poorly executed and greatly missed schedule
