What defines us
We help each other, treat each other with respect, value open dialogue, and trust in each other’s expertise. We are driven and characterized by a desire for innovation, a pioneering spirit and our passion for leading-edge technology. All our employees, with their individual abilities and a shared determination to find the best and not simply the first solution, are the basis of our success.

The Advantest Way
Our values are firmly anchored in the Advantest Way. Altogether, the nine core values also form the basis of our actions: INTEGRITY.
For us, integrity primarily means open, honest and respectful interaction with everyone: employees, customers, suppliers and investors. We successfully unite people of diverse cultures, religions, and viewpoints and learn from and with each other.
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. Be ADVANTEST!
Ayman, Technical Project Manager – Hardware Development
There are basically three things that make Advantest different: the people, the culture and the environment. At Advantest, I have been able to grow. They give you the opportunity to try things out – and the opportunity to fail. Working here is actually like being part of a community – it’s like family. Everyone is treated the same, and we have a strong sense of purpose in our work.
Vignesh, Data Governance and Business Intelligence Manager
Whatever happens, Advantest stands by me. For example, if an exam does not go as well as expected, the company motivates me and helps me to improve. It feels good to have colleagues and managers who support me; in my eyes, that sets Advantest apart from other employers.
Christoph, Dual Study Program – Information Technology
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. Our wishes, goals, concerns and needs are taken into account. And considerable effort goes into our well-being. Personally, I could already tell during my application process how important it was to Advantest to bring me on board.
Bianca, Director Process Transformation
For me, coming to Advantest was different. It’s the culture: everyone is really friendly and my teammates are wonderful – basically, I love the people here. I think it’s the best place to work in Germany.
