Stable, Fair, Sometimes Directionless - Senior DevOps Engineer Keysight Technologies Employee Review

Pros

My specific team has the unique ability to almost perform like a startup in some respects (move quickly, pivot when needed, pick up newest technologies) while working inside of a very large company. We aren't completely isolated from bureaucracy but it feels minimized most of the time. We are encouraged to experiment and be unafraid to question decisions and push boundaries. The benefits, then, of operating inside of a much larger unit is the stability and work/life balance that they provide.

Cons

Lack of a coherent direction on selling our product(s) can lead to thrashing on engineering efforts. Priorities one day can be offlined next, and vice versa.

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.
