Pros

Agilent is a great place to work. It is more than a spinoff from HP. It continues to hold the values of the HP culture.

Cons

Recently, the company has had a number of layoffs in different areas - with the downturn in 2002 and the latest downturn.

Pros

Good high caliber people in the trenches.

Cons

Within Agilent all the focus is on the Life Sciences side of the business. Although T&M is a very interesting high tech industry, it is a mature business. Agilent is the dominant player in T&M but the business is moribund. Since the massive layoffs of 2009 there is a survival mentality. Don't expect much recognition or promotion.
