Pros

Nothing I can think of.

Cons

Healthcare plan is atrocious. Company is so cheap that provide a paltry $60 per day towards meals while traveling. Company contributes zero $$$ towards their employees HSA accounts to assist with medical bills. As an FSE you feel like a number, a warm body that gets tossed around by the schedulers who themselves have no clue what they are doing. Management only cares about metrics and treats the engineers like pawns. Horrible management structure and way too many hands in the pot. FSE's are expendable and Agilent could care less. They'll go out and hire someone straight out of college with zero experience. Managers only care about themselves and are focused on building their own careers. It's really like working for a virtual company where you never really get to know anyone, feel undervalued, nothing is explained and everything is outsourced to India.

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.
