Agilent Technologies interview questions

An initial phone interview was conducted by a 3rd party organization under contract to Agilent. They asked some behavioral interview questions (about 4 or 5). Following that an in-person interview was set up consisting of 6 people, in 4 groups. 1-1-2-2. Since this was essentially a Field Applications Engineering position members of the sales force (called "Field Engineers") were involved in the interview process, as well as other Applications Engineers.

There was first a technical interview. None of the questions were unusually difficult. They asked basic programming and testing concepts. Afterwards there were a number of more specific questions detailing example scenarios. They covered perl, python, and bash since the position was looking for a scripting position. After the technical interview there was a manager interview. The interview went well, we talked about my past experiences and how I overcame challenges and obstacles.
