Inconvénients
Top executive with CFO background and not financial independent from parent company Teradyne so salary is not competitive, also some designed rule (for example I lose my whole year 401k match because I left before or by 12/31, RSU refresh is very low in Sillicon valley based on I compare to my many friends in same industry); Most executives are close to retirement so not much innovation or motivation but keep doing comfortable products; Heavily rely on one customer so in the revenue was not stable and shrink in some years (feel free to check public Teradyne earning for accuracy); Interesting layoff strategy (recall done once per quater in two quarters in 2016, instead of one cut);
