Melbourne

Former Employee – worked at Agilent Technologies

ProsGreat people. Learning opportunity is good. Work environment is informal and friendly. Peer feedback is well-valued.

ConsGrowth is not steady. Too much outsourcing and less job security.

Advice to Senior ManagementI think management should give a division/org more time after an investment. Also outsorucing too much may not be good for the long run.
