Not the same since 2020 - Mulitple Positions Agilent Technologies Employee Review

Good teammates, work life balance and salary

None i could think of

As everyone says in the reviews, the rank and file employees are generally great to work with and are highly competent. The company has a cool history in Silicon Valley.

-Comments on this site about the deterioration in the culture since the CEO transition are true. It's changed from collaborative to combative. -Priority projects get outsize funding but go nowhere. For example, a year was spent overhauling the main website, only to unveil a new one that is substantially worse if not an outright embarrassment (complete with graphics borrowed from the early 2000s). -Layoffs happen semi-regularly, with many jobs cut permanently and others transferred to countries in Asia with cheap labor. -Leadership believes in a "superstar" philosophy, giving huge sums of compensation to a select few hires they think can transform their business (only for them to flop within several months). -Communication is poor. Enterprise communications is led by someone with no self awareness (Dunning-Kruger effect). CEO communications are stilted and filled with corporate jargon nonsense about "transformation." -Stock has failed to gain despite two years of investment and cost cutting. Meanwhile, competitors like Waters continue to make gains and pose a threat to the company's market share. -Lost an important IP case that will likely result in loss of market share in one of their fastest-growing businesses (all of this is public, just Google it). -C-suite leadership is often distant and remote. Rarely mingle with employees.
