Process

Got an invitation a few days after online application to schedule an in person interview. Met with a few engineers and HR, nothing too technical, seemed more like they wanted to see if I was really interested and would fit in the group. Got a tour of part of the facility, everyone was very nice. Got an offer a few days later in an email.

Teradyne Work Experiences

Good experience

Mechanical Engineering Co-Op • Current Employee

North Reading, Massachusetts

Pros: Competitive pay for an internship Everyone there is personable and willing to help you learn on campus cafeteria with OK food at an affordable price hosts a handful of employee events now has a ping pong and foosball table in the cafeteria good area to go on a post-lunch walk

Cons: I joined right in the middle of COVID and the on-campus lifestyle was obviously not good and I didn't meet many co-workers and unfortunately now that things are back to normal I feel a bit behind co-workers socially since I never had meaningful interactions with others who were somewhat left to your own devices and there can be a lot of downtime between tasks due to other engineers being a bit overworked, because they don't have adequate time to create tasks for me and I'm stuck in co-op limbo, meaning they are continuing to supply me with a job (which is great!) but upper management is reluctant to open new positions.

Mechanical Engineering Co-Op • Former Employee

Pros: I worked there as an engineering co-op. For the most part I enjoyed the people.

Cons: I was generally bored with my assignments and found them to be dry and repetitive. From my perspective the company seemed to have a silo mentality where there was not a lot of transparency (or at least publicity) about what went on in other departments. I frequently ran out of work to do which was frustrating because I genuinely prefer staying busy.
