Pros

The flexibility. I was able to set my own work hours. I was encouraged by my boss to play sports almost every day at lunch. There was basketball, indoor soccer, ping pong, softball. Being able to do stuff like that during lunch made working 8 hours a day much much more enjoyable. In addition, I found it to be a very family-like atmosphere. I really enjoyed the interactions I had with my coworkers. My boss was awesome. He always asked what he could do to help me do my work better. When I had things to improve on, he was so nice about explaining how he thought I could improve, and would ask what he could do to help me get better.

Cons

Some people don't like Santa Rosa, being kinda far from San Francisco, but I like it up there. Very quiet and laid back.

Pros

My team and I like being in a company doing good in the world. Can advance my career.

Cons

Pace is flat out and looks like it will stay that way. It’s hard to look at better ways to work when people are stretched trying to get something done then move to the next

Pros

The stock price went up a bit!

Cons

I've been with Agilent for quite some time, but since the CEO transition, the overarching sense of alignment and shared purpose has seriously eroded. It's like we're operating in silos. The Enterprise Communications Division, in particular, is perceived as disconnected from what the rest of the company actually does day‑to‑day. There's an ivory tower mentality that's really depressing.
