      CEO dancing for wall street while company implodes from within

      Vice president
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great exposure to China with many senior management now Chinese nationals based in Asia and USA.

      Cons

      A lot of energy is being wasted to keep an illusion going for wall street investors. Company is imploding from within with massive job loss and voluntary turn over at all levels. CEO a disaster, seems to be mentally unstable often contradicting himself in the same meeting. Almost all big bets have failed and only reason showing profit is thru massive cost cutting that is unsustainable. Acquisition by Chinese company looks likely.

      Stop acquiring companies just to destroy them

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good benefits. Pay seems competitive

      Cons

      This company buys well run and successful companies and destroys them. They have done this over and over again. Try to use the same playbook with acquired companies and never learn that applying legacy processes and strategy to these acquisitions destroys them EVERY SINGLE TIME. Happened with V11, Varian, BioTek, etc. It is insane that they think that doing the same thing, over and over again will lead to a different outcome. I also agree with many of these reviews that there is no accountability. The people that made decisions that were horrible just move up. Look at BioTek…they spent $1.2 B on it. Ruined it and then ask “how did this happen?”. It is just pure incompetence. Ignite transformation has been a debacle. Letting go of competent people and backfilling with people that are willing to play the political game. If you are thinking about selling your company to Agilent, think twice about if the $ is worth destroying what you have built.
