The good and bad - Mechanical Engineer Keysight Technologies Employee Review

Pros

The diversity is excellent and equality is a cornerstone. Employees are given great freedom in performing their job. Work life balance is supported by staff…depending on your manager (see cons). Benefits are comparable to industry standard.

Cons

The managers that are rewarded tend to be those that drive their staff to burnout for quarterly profits. Pay raises are generally 5% per year which doesn’t pace cost of living. So essentially, you can expect a 1.5% pay cut year-to-year. The company has been notoriously understaffed, by design, for years. This makes it difficult to take time off.

Pros

One star for the amazing people, one star for paycheck.

Cons

When I left, it took at least a month to decompress from the toxicity. KGM reorgs were a regular occurrence (5 in a 2-year span, for example) resulting in colleagues reappearing in roles in which they have no experience or disappearing all together. This created a culture of constant backstabbing and insecurity. Leadership picked favorites, ignoring the talents of many and this was reflective in bonuses. They undervalue and lose a lot of talented people, and it continues in spite of their recent positive quarterly reports. Reactionary marketing strategies result in a lot of wasted time and work. Read the rest of the reviews before taking on a role here. You will see a pattern.
