Pros
Matching 401K* Pension Plan* *Anyone hired after Nov, 2014 does not qualify for pension plan. Instead those people qualify for an extra 1% match.
Cons
Management: Seems like there are no good managers. There is too much back and forth discussion without decisions being made by the decision makers. For a Silicon Valley company, this really isn't an employee friendly company, especially with the removal of the pension plan. Vacation time: 15 days to start, but you HAVE to take Christmas week off. It makes it feel like you really only have 2 weeks of vacation. Bonus: Calculated based on Operating Margin. I don't think Agilent will ever have a >20% OM in order for the employees to get a decent bonus. Not after splitting off KeySight.
