Pros

Agilent has pretty good work/life balance. Flexible working time is also good. Generally, people working in the same group is nice and very helpful. Generous bonus plan every six months is appreciated. Company-wide involvement in the community work is also good. Site-wide picnic and group-wide lunch is also fun. Respect to employees can be seen at all level of management.

Cons

Decision from management can sometimes be slow. Now they are improving this issue. Career advancement within a group is hard to see. Advancement to architecture level will take a long time as in most big company, I guess. They don't let employees automatically transfer to another group.

Pros

Great products that help scientific researchers

Cons

The enterprise comms dept is awful. A toxic environment marked by instability and burnout. Long‑time employees are pushed out, new hires leave, and the culture is defined by fear rather than collaboration. The core issue is the leadership. Limited enterprise‑level experience and a lack of emotional intelligence have created a culture of micro-managing, reactive decisions, and psychological insecurity. Instead of providing clarity and strategic leadership, the leader fuels confusion, distrust, and exhaustion. The result is a dysfunctional department where morale is low, workloads are unsustainable, and employees feel unsafe speaking up.
