      Pros

      good work life balance company big enough to provide varied opportunities cares about producing quality products nice community involvement beautiful work site

      Cons

      unsure of direction of company and long term employment viability due to cyclic layoffs over the last several years, company seems to request to do more with less but you can only take this trimming so far.

      The easy life

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Pay, flexible hours, incredibly smart people to work with. The basis of why this company is amazing to work for you have to understand a bit of the history. HP originally started as an electronic test and measurement; then they got huge and was "the company to work for." Around this time HP spun of Agilent. When Agilent spun off it kept all the amazing benefits HP offered and still does. Well, those benefits carried over to Keysight and they're amazing. The last piece to understand here is that as each spin off happened the company down sized, cutting the bad and keeping the genius. So the people you work with here really are the best of the best. As the generations before us tended to stay with a company for life they all stuck here. Not to mention they have an office in Colorado!

      Cons

      Uhhh, I work in a cube? But those are disappearing for a variety of options within the next year.

      Company has unrealistic goals

      R&d engineer

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      There is only one reason to stay with the company, and that's the bright people you still find in many jobs.

      Cons

      Only very few believe that the goals management has set are achievable. Since the results bonus is tied to achieving these goals, most of the employees get only a very small results bonus even though the profit level seems to be quite good. This is however not true for upper management, which received a substantial number of shares (see insider trades on e.g. Marketwatch). At the same time regions with loyal employees and hence with low attrition receive almost zero pay increase.
