I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Agilent Technologies (Santa Rosa, CA)
Interview
I applied online at Agilent.com. I received an email from the recruiter and he passed my resume on to the hiring manager. The hiring manager aranged a phone interview with me that was very pleasant. My next interview was with one of the senior engineers of the group. It was challenging, but also very pleasant. My final interview was with 5 people, 4 engineers and another manager. Some of the questions and tasks were challenging, but most of it I did good on. I think I could have done better, but my enthusiasm for the position helped. Prepare for your interview by reviewing your coarse work and relax. Be enthusiastic and confident about your skills. Finally, be honest on your resume and don't say you know something if you don't. They will test you on your resume and if you can't do what you say, you won't be hired. All of the people that interviewed me were very friendly and fair.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I can't give away company questions, but some logic questions were asked and I was asked to design a couple of simple algorithyms.
I applied online. I interviewed at Agilent Technologies in Jan 2026
Interview
Good approach with a strong HR professional and consistent follow-up, but a long process with little feedback. Based more on intuition than on technical skills. the technical interview consisted in a lot of question related to both technologies that appeared on the job description, and others not even mentioned on it. Little transparency regarding other candidates.
I interviewed at Agilent Technologies (Santa Clara, CA)
Interview
Interview was fairly simple. It was easy to prepare for and interviewers were nice and helpful. I would recommend applying. Role can be remote or hybrid flexibility. Some are on-site roles.
Very relaxed, and they were kind enough to ask good questions and talk about the salary. I liked the interview, and did not have to wait long to hear the next steps.
