Corporate Culture

Mission Statement

Altera's mission is to be a preeminent supplier of programmable silicon solutions to the electronics industry through product leadership, excellent value, and superior quality and service.

Business and Operating Philosophy

Altera is a dynamic, growing company with an overall commitment to excellence. We expect continuing improvement in everything we do. We want to lead, not follow—in our products, technology, service, and employee relations. We strive to be the best.

Part of Altera's overall philosophy of excellence is a commitment to the development and well being of our employees. Only with the best people performing excellent work can Altera continue our industry leadership. We believe each person is important and we will attempt to give every employee opportunities to succeed and grow. We expect employees to ask questions and search for better solutions, and, in turn we will recognize and reward superior performance while identifying and correcting performance that does not meet Altera's high standards.

We believe our customers are the ultimate judges of our performance. They expect—and merit—superior quality, service, and value. Altera's focus is on new and better solutions; we stress creativity and imagination in everything we do. We are proud of having pioneered many of the innovations that have become standard in our industry. Experience shows that if we serve our customers well, our own success will follow.

Keeping Altera competitive and successful requires excellent teamwork and constant communication that is focused on the end objective. A fast-moving, fast-growing industry like ours also requires planning and execution for the future. We appreciate the dedicated and intensity of effort from our employees in upholding Altera's values and standards of excellence.
