Our pride and joy

Since 2017, we have regularly taken part in a comparison of the best employers in Germany. In 2021, our employees again participated in the anonymous and independent survey. The results confirm: We are a Great Place to Work! We first and foremost owe that great result to the people here at Advantest. Each and every day, they prove their dedication, take ownership, and bring passion to their work. And that makes us very proud.

When I compare Advantest to previous employers, there is a very decisive advantage here: the employees count. We are treated like human beings, not numbers.
