Agilent Technologies reviews

Lack of leadership and slow decision making and zero risk taking. Need to recognize and value scientific and market know how more then typical MBA talk

The middle and upper management at the Boulder facility are solely concerned about increasing profits. They seem to be a bunch of "money" people (MBAs and finance) with little to no understanding of the complexities of chemical manufacturing. Lots of lip service to safety, many appeals for overtime to stick to an unrealistic production schedule. Internal communication is basically non-existent. Infighting among departments (manufacturing, QA, QC) with little trust or respect. This facility is devoid of good leadership, with extreme incompetence in planning and scheduling, in communication and training. There is no organized training protocol, relying on chemists to relay the shitload of tribal knowledge that keeps the equipment running.
