I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Teradyne (North Reading, MA) in May 2008
Interview
Phone interview, followed by an on-site interview with the team, then an offer if you are accepted. Pretty straight forward software hiring process. First meet with the hiring manager, then with members of your future team where you get asked plenty of technical questions, and behavioral questions. Then a final tour of the site and facilities, then another meeting with HR and then off you go.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Teradyne (North Reading, MA) in Jan 2026
Interview
One of my friends referred me for this role, and the recruiter reached out to me fairly quickly. He scheduled first screening with the hiring manager. This was happening just before the christmas break so did not hear back from recruiter if the until new year's first week. Recruiter scheduled on site interview with 5 members including one round with hiring manager. out of 5 interviews that day, interview with hiring manager was majorly us discussing more about the role and I had chance to ask more questions to understand the role better. Rest of interviews as 2 system design type of question, and 2 leet code kind of questions on white board.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1

One question related to binary tree.
How to implemement undo-redo functionality in notepad application?
System design question:

Initially, there was an interview with the hiring manager.
Following that, there was an on-site session with multiple technical interviews (a mix of leetcode and OOP live coding, programming questions, and technical background questions) with different people. Each interview experience depended heavily on the person, which varied a lot.
After this, I never heard from them again, even though I was told I would.
Mostly Technical questions with some conceptual, be prepared to implement algorithms and know C and C++. first round was an online questionnaire and the second phase was an in-person interview.
