Agilent Technologies reviews

The company has recently cut some jobs in the hope of staying profitable especially in difficult times like these when the revenue has fallen more than expected. Though the job cuts recently were across the globe, needless to say, a major number has been in the high cost geographies (i.e US). The already shrinking IT and the global infrastructure organization has been cut down even more. Since the amount of projects continue to remain same or increase, and the workforce being decreased, this will put a lot of stress on the employees. Even though the senior management would've liked to be 'unperturbed' by the market turmoil, Agilent is facing the heat in recent months. Have to wait and see how Q2 plays out

Very limited growth opportunities, excessive outsourcing, off shoring, too much cost cutting in recent years. There was no growth in US recently, instead office closings, multiple rounds of workforce reductions. The US jobs are going offshore - India, Malaysia, China and good people are leaving the company. The upper management does not seem to care and is just looking at the numbers while parts of the company are getting decimated - especially in US.
