So, I love the environment and enjoy being able to continuously improve my English language skills. How do you think the people at Teradyne differ from those you might find in other companies?

This is very important to Teradyne’s business and our customer’s success. What I like most about Teradyne’s culture is it offers professional growth, a balanced life/work environment and open communication.
