Business Outlook

Pros

Flexible working hours, low management overhead, no 'hustle culture', reasonable deadlines. A great place to grow your career right out of college or if you have 2-3 years experience.

Cons

Somewhat understaffed or underresourced for certain projects. It can be frustrating at times having to sacrifice features or maintainability in favor of schedule. Management is great at being realistic about this tradeoff and doesn't blame engineers for having to make it, but it is still frustrating having to do a less thorough job for lack of resources. Currently there is not really any room to grow your career once you're a mid-senior engineer.

Pros

Teradyne is a place where you can feel at home and welcome. It has a culture that fosters new ideas and encourages growth by everyone. There are no closed doors; even the CEO has a cubicle in the main building. Many people work at Teradyne for a long time. I have met few people who worked there for fewer than 5 years before leaving, and I have known many people who stayed for between 15 and 45 years. Growth is steady and predictable at Teradyne, if slow. Benefits are good, and salary is on the low end of competitive. Paid time off is liberal and flexible.

Cons

If you aren't satisfied with your position on the ladder at Teradyne, as always, you can work harder and do more, but even the fastest growth at Teradyne is a snail's pace compared to other businesses in the Boston area. Occasionally, on big (especially new) projects, employees can feel the expectation to work upwards of 100 hours/wk, and these are salaried employees, so overtime doesn't exist.
