Pros

* appreciates employees * amazingly flexible work schedules * great benefits * opportunities to move around * casual dress code * fabulous lay-off package

Cons

Is the ship going down? When I started in 2000 there were 48,000 employees. Today it's somewhere in the ball park of 15,000, with a much higher percentage in Asia. Much of the US & European offices are reduced. There are always bum managers in every corporation and they do have a few here and there. If you look for it you can find some politics but the majority of people are just there to do their job and do it well.

A good place to work

Pros

Agilent gives one a lot of opportunity and autonomy. If you work hard, you can do well. Employees are top notch, and focused on excellence.

Cons

Agilent is in a commoditizing market with a number of nimble competitors, so it is being forced to be extremely lean.

Pros

Great history of being a people-focused company that does great engineering. Good working environment, flexible and enough tools and knowledge to get the job done

Cons

It's a big company so has its share of processes not all of which seem to add value, too many managers running spreadsheets rather than doing the job, a lot of change in recent years to adapt to the market realities but still a good place to be.
