There isn’t much to do for most of the staff because your job comes in bursts so the culture is relaxed. Everyone is friendly and helpful, it’s strange sometimes feeling so taken care of at a company and supported by your coworkers. Because the way the work comes, you’re free to do other things to help the company. Special projects and such which open doors for career shifts inside the company because they are so supportive. You can end up an engineer or programmer if you use your time and learn the job from the inside. 

Weirdness is there is No real strong leadership or point men, things change too often without testing if the previous idea worked. More management than the current employee count needs, no one making hard decisions so things get wishy washy.  People are often frustrated due to a hurry up and wait type of work culture for most of the employees. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Quite an innovative product line and they do respond to customer requests quite promptly  

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
One or a  few of factory employees that would come to assist with escalated issues had some very poor cooperative skills and would demonstrate their behavior right in the costumers presence.   

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Day to day activities were highly positive even though their customers expect extreme tight tolerances  

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
when no appointment is scheduled, is was expected for us to visit site monitor utilities on equipment. When not doing so office work for parts accountability and review of training info

I learned a significant amount in robotics. That being said this is a manufacturing job NOT a machining job. There is a bare minimum amount of hands on work. This is tideous, boring work such as flipping parts on fixtures. Sitting for hours screwing & unscrewing little fixtures & parts. Only a small amount of managers truly care about their employees success. 
If they like you they like you, you can make scrap products everyday. If they don’t like you they will give you work and not explain what you are to do. It’s stressful, things are always changing. Phoenix Location is alright, Chandler location is a nightmare. 

A good comp[any to work for as my days were always different with incoming shipments from customers.  Ran into daily issues with customer returns that needed investigation to resolve.  I learned to delegate as have always been a hands-on worker but realized in order for myself to grow I needed to delegate more to free up my time.  Hardest part of the job was to balance work/life relationship as I was on call 24 x 7.  Most enjoyable part was figuring out / investigating he daily problems or issues as I like to call them.

people were very careful and conscious there.I and a lot of my colleagues were friends there.we often played card togeter after lunch.once I and one of my colleagues went to a factory to help to install our tester machines.unfortunately,an unexpected accident happened,a row of tester pins on our tester head were crushed by loadboard,and then i asked to resign for this accident,my boss still wanted me to stay,he said some tester pins on some tester head were already bend,so when press loadbord down would cause this kind of accident,but i still resigned,because i think if i double checked it,this accident should't have happened.

What is the best part of working at the company?

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Only week it's funny.  Because Monday through Friday 12 hours better

Essai is for the desperate, the people who hate themselves, or simple the ones that don't care anymore. 

Management is terrible. They expect loyalty but keep you on probation for years so you can't get benefits. Management makes all the money and pays close to minimum wages and will keep you there or let you go.

They have asked people to stay without pay in the past, that tells you alot. 

Everything is shipments. have to make shipments, why are we not making shipments. Your health and mental health is not considered.

Work life balance is key at this company. I try to be as good as the people I work with but there are so many great people it is a challenge - a good challenge. Not much bad to say. The company is doing great, has great products and a great future. If it were otherwise, I would say so. I've worked at lousy companies before. This is not one of them.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The benefits were good and Work was a long-term guarantee initially.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
There was a lot of racial tension that was not addressed and was out of hand, and there was no recourse for resolution.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
in office every day and cubicles.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Hectic,
I had multiple tasks on a regular basis on deadlines and timelines to fulfill.

It is probably not specific to Advantest, but management does not really recognize the hard work of most employees. Recognition comes in two ways: being instrumental in bringing in a big order, or being in the central management circle. Being in the middle, I had visibility to individuals in management that added very little, and to field personnel that were nearly invisible and way underappreciated.
