Process

I had a preliminary interview at a school job fair, and later I toured their facility and interviewed with additional staff and managers.

There were several theoretical questions involving mechanical design and heat transfer.

Teradyne Work Experiences

It's alright

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.

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.
