Pros

TeraDiode has a revolutionary laser technology spun-off from MIT. It is a very exciting place to work with very fast-paced product development. There are many outstanding employees working for the company. The best reward is to be part of an industry-changing company.

Cons

TeraDiode has the usual challenges of working at a fast-paced start-up company. It's not for everyone, but those that rise to the challenge will excel and flourish here.
