      Pros

      Customer focused Making a difference in the laboratories of tomorrow

      Cons

      Recent decline in benefits removes a lot of value in loyalty to Agilent. If a service employee isn't happy, it has become very easy to jump ship and end up on higher ground.

      Agilent is a mixed bag

      Pros

      Overall I believe the company solves good and challenging problems. They try to take care of their employees and seem to care about the experience employees have developed over the years. Many employees have worked at Agilent and formerly HP for a long time. Supporting and encouraging long-term employees is one of its greatest strengths. They also seem to support employees moving to different departments/divisions in order to keep advancing in their skills/careers. However, you have to move to Santa Clara for many of these opportunities.

      Cons

      I think Agilent offers substandard benefits and salary. For salary, it may be highly dependent upon the division or group in which you are employed, however, they do have a standard salary range for every position. Health benefits are substandard as well, expensive or greatly limited depending upon the plan. People that work in Santa Clara complain that it is difficult to compete against Apple, Google, and Facebook. The benefits/salary in comparison seem so far off the mark, I wonder why the people working in Santa Clara (in software development) don't try working at these other places. Almost everything is outsourced. From IT support to most HR functions. In my division there was no way to advance from where I was. I didn't want to move to Santa Clara, so I was stuck.

      Pros

      Its a fortune 500 company, looks good on the CV and there are a few connects that you can make and maintain. Also, since the technology itself is flawless, the customer interaction and the network thus developed is quite possibly the best one can hope for.

      Cons

      Office politics is encouraged and so is backstabbing. Makes for a very unhappy work environment.
