Pros

Agilent is an amazing place to start your career. Many employees here have 20+ years of engineering experience since the days of HP, and the depth and breadth of the accumulated expertise is simply superb.

Cons

Evidently it is not a fast-growing company, so the promotion will be very limited. And the salary raise is very slow, too.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great technology and industry-leading products. Agilent has the best research and development team in the industry, or so it seems from inside. The team nature of the field sales group is refreshing, and the 'never lose alone' slogan is justified. The pay is competitive, the management is respectful and still retains the open door and 'walk around' style of the old HP from Bill & Dave. In some places there may be too much management; but most are valid.

Cons

Communication between divisions and homogeny of resources tends to be lacking. (For example, a website with technical resources from one division may be structured completely differently from another division, and they are not linked together coherently. Too many internal tools and processes overlap and change too often, specifically with the complication of the new 'channel partner' initiative.
