Engineer - Anonymous employee Terradyne Employee Review

Great team work life balance

No voice with upper management

Not really any to list

They will hire you for one position and then give you more responsibilities without extra pay. They say they’re constantly growing but in reality the employee numbers stay about the same. There’s always new hires, not because of growth, but because people either get smart and leave or they’re fired for something stupid. They’ll tell you they’re a “family” company but have heard the president of the company say he doesn’t care if it’s an employees weekend with his kid, he still has to work and he doesn’t care. They’ll put blame on anyone except themselves and tell more lies to make them look better. They’ll treat all entry level employees like numbers, don’t take care of their vehicles or equipment, when you try and bring up ways to improve anything they’ll brush it off at first and then circle back around to it and say they came up with it, have drillers going to sites that haven’t been checked for clearing or any underground lines, have seen some techs have anywhere from 4-5 hours off between shifts while others were having to take days off because they didn’t have work for them. They’ll make you feel like it’s a good company at first and that your input is valued and then turn on you when you voice anything against what they see fit. They’ll don’t relay 100% of the information to the owner of the company or even the president of the company. Will slow fire people while telling them they’re position is safe and they’re doing a good job. If you’re salary they will make you work extra hours and other positions and have hourly people off when it’s slow because it’s cheaper for them and don’t show any appreciation for it. If you ask if there’s anything you can improve on or if you’re making mistakes they’ll tell you no and then turn around and write you up for continuing to do something wrong. Sad part is there are good people at this company who believe they are valued but from the outside looking in they’re just being used as puppets and could do much much better. And don’t believe too many of the reviews on google. They have their corporate employees and their family and friends put 5 stars on there so it looks better.
