Pros

People around you do care, only some managers though not all. A lot of incompetence in the older part of the company.

Cons

Huge turnover of the leadership team throughout these few years, lack of transparency compared to previous leadership

Business Outlook

Pros

-Friendly work environment amongst coworkers and other divisions. - Company car issued every 3 years on the sales team (chevy truck and some employees have teslas) where the vehicle can be used for personal use. - Opportunites to make an impact (Agilent is a company that cares about social issues and change)

Cons

- M&A's create chaos internally that takes years and sometimes decades to streamline - Management does not always know how to support their team (more training and dedicated support tools need to be incorporated) - Training is informal for newer companies that have been acquired. If someone is being hired with no prior experience of a product, the expectation is for the employee to teach themselves in addition to maintaining all of the task necessary to be successful in the role.

Amazing Company

Business Outlook

Pros

Flexible schedule, work life balance (sometimes), extremely generous 401k match, above average and flexible paid time off, responsible hiring practices that place high focus on avoiding layoffs, high emphasis on quality from executive management, support for exploring new job roles within the company, stability / predictable workdays, generous bonus program, competent colleagues, company wide survey that is actually taken seriously and a CEO that is willing to answer live questions at a town hall.

Cons

Even for high performers, it can be hard to keep your salary competitive with the market if you stay for a long time and that is coming from someone who had their salary tripled while they worked there. The high deductible health insurance can be really rough for people at lower salary levels but they did start contributing a little to HSAs to help out. The combined vacation/sick time is great if you don’t get sick, but it encourages people (pre-Covid) to come into the office sick to conserve vacation time. The amount I get sick now is 1/4 of before despite not changing weekend/ free time habits.
