Pros

Good location in the South Bay. Campus is much nicer now that corporate has moved down to the Santa Clara site. Almost all of the benefits have been taken away in these days of cost cutting.

Cons

The company expects you to work long hours and weekends. This company used to have a great work/life balance philosophy. Now they only want to know "what have you done for me lately?" The managers from the HP days were wonderful. They cared about mapping out your career and which skills were your best assets. Sadly, those sorts of mangers don't exist at Agilent.

Pros

Great products that help scientific researchers

Cons

The enterprise comms dept is awful. A toxic environment marked by instability and burnout. Long‑time employees are pushed out, new hires leave, and the culture is defined by fear rather than collaboration. The core issue is the leadership. Limited enterprise‑level experience and a lack of emotional intelligence have created a culture of micro-managing, reactive decisions, and psychological insecurity. Instead of providing clarity and strategic leadership, the leader fuels confusion, distrust, and exhaustion. The result is a dysfunctional department where morale is low, workloads are unsustainable, and employees feel unsafe speaking up.
