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.

Technical Project Manager – Hardware Development

In addition to my day-to-day technical responsibilities, I am able to take an active part in the Be ADVANTEST! employee initiative. This focuses on strengthening shared values and cooperation across the company. Ideas suggested by our local initiative have been adopted globally. For me, that alone shows how values, such as empowerment, trust and teamwork, are not just lip service, but a meaningful reality.
