Business Outlook
Pros
There are a lot of talented employees. The individual contributors around the globe have a lot of skill and potential.
Cons
The company leadership has eroded the faith and engagement of so many employees. There are also bad lower managers who need coaching or new roles. The company is hyper-focused on quarterly financial performance for stockholders. Rather than utilize the skill and knowledge of their workforce to fix the burdensome business process they do layoffs (3 years in a row) thinking they can save money and processes will improve. If you just want a paycheck and can block out the b.s., then join Agilent. Many employees are shopping their resumes around.
