Pros

Just like being deathly ill makes you appreciate when your well, leaving Agilent will make everything else seem so much better.

Cons

25 years in the industry and I can honestly say that Agilent Boulder is the worst place I have ever worked. Why? Management is deplorable and treats their employees like they are dogs, oh wait... dogs are treated better. Truth is, management couldn’t care less about the employee, and there is no work life balance at all. Agilent has a plethora of feel-good policies that make you think you are working for an ethical and caring company, but it is all window dressing. Unfortunately Agilent Boulder’s not like the rest of Agilent and the site is filled with heartless, soulless predatory managers that run their employees into the ground and then discards them like trash. Turnover at the site is phenomenal and speaks volumes about how people are treated at the site. The Human Resources department hides anything that management does that violates Agilent’s policies, so you can’t get any help resolving issues, and then you get targeted for retaliation. If you think Agilent’s 4 star reputation reflects it’s Boulder site, guess again - its about half that at Boulder.

Pros

My team and I like being in a company doing good in the world. Can advance my career.

Cons

Pace is flat out and looks like it will stay that way. It’s hard to look at better ways to work when people are stretched trying to get something done then move to the next

Pros

The stock price went up a bit!

Cons

I've been with Agilent for quite some time, but since the CEO transition, the overarching sense of alignment and shared purpose has seriously eroded. It's like we're operating in silos. The Enterprise Communications Division, in particular, is perceived as disconnected from what the rest of the company actually does day‑to‑day. There's an ivory tower mentality that's really depressing.
