Pros

Been here for 27 years. Love every minute of it. Lots of innovation and leading/bleading edge tech innovation. People are great. Managers try hard and are good and caring people. Very flexible with work/life balance. Because of the need for engineering precision the quality/skills bar is set very high. Feel like you're making a difference in making the new digital world thrive, communicate, secure and innovate.

Cons

Not a ton of opportunities for advancement. Someone usually has to leave or retire. It can take years. Overall pay/bonuses/stock can't compete with the "big boys" but is well above average and is completely satisfactory. Old stodgy slow growth business with a big chunk of customer revenue coming from US government and defense department contractors. That said .. keysight is at the cross hairs of innovation with ev battery test, wireless communications, defense/spy equipment it's just not going to be lay man's consumer oriented projects/products.

Pros

One star for the amazing people, one star for paycheck.

Cons

When I left, it took at least a month to decompress from the toxicity. KGM reorgs were a regular occurrence (5 in a 2-year span, for example) resulting in colleagues reappearing in roles in which they have no experience or disappearing all together. This created a culture of constant backstabbing and insecurity. Leadership picked favorites, ignoring the talents of many and this was reflective in bonuses. They undervalue and lose a lot of talented people, and it continues in spite of their recent positive quarterly reports. Reactionary marketing strategies result in a lot of wasted time and work. Read the rest of the reviews before taking on a role here. You will see a pattern.
