I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Agilent Technologies (Wilmington, DE) in Sep 2011
Interview
Formal interview is split into two sections. Technical and behavioral. Beware of the latter. Agilent want personalities to be the front of their business every much as being a good engineer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How did you deal with your most difficult customer and how did it work out? Always be honest but use a positive experience as an example, the interviewers will give you time to think if an answer?

Interview
The interview process consisted of two rounds. The first round was an introductory conversation. In the second round, the focus shifted more toward my personal background, and the role itself was explained in detail, including responsibilities and workflows.
Ultimately, I received a rejection. While that in itself is not an issue, the overall process was quite time-consuming. From application to final decision, it took approximately 2–3 months.
Communication throughout the process could have been more proactive. I often had to follow up to receive updates, as it was mentioned that there was no urgency to fill the position. The final feedback was initially expected about one week after the last interview, but it took around 2.5 weeks and only came after I reached out again.
Overall, the process lacked efficiency and timely communication.

Interview
First interview with recruiter was very easy and straight forward. Second interview with panel of Agilent reps was weird. There were 6 people on the Teams call but only 1 of them had their camera on. People kept coming in and out of the call and they all seemed kind of unprepared to talk to me. They asked a bunch of questions that didn't seem relevant to the job description which was weird.
