Choppy waters ahead! (even though we've been in choppy waters for quite sometime now) - Individual Contributor Agilent Technologies Employee Review

Pros

Working on products that help the lives of people has been the best part of this job. The people around really care about the work. Benefits are industry standard, but not special.

Cons

The disconnect between upper management and lower level contributors hasn't been more apparent. The all hands meetings results in management exhaling a murmur of words that grazes the scalps of the audience, never quite landing where it matters. We all ask each other what it means. We shrug and wait. People cannot express their feedback honestly since they cancelled the company survey this year. One of the listed reasons was essentially, "We heard you the first time" after repeated years of people ranking compensation and benefits lowest on the survey. Yes... that was actually a reason they gave. Insane, I know. The One Agilent Way is slowly eroding.

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.
