I applied through university. I interviewed at Agilent Technologies (Santa Rosa, CA)
Interview
I was interviewed by 2 people. My direct manger and my mentor in the group. It was mainly technical question. The interview with the mentor was much more intense with lots of questions and problems to solve.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They describe the problem domain (spectrum analyzers) and asked my to share a conceptual design of a database ( The tables and their relationships) that can help them store data and recognize faults that are in the systems.
I applied online. I interviewed at Agilent Technologies in Jan 2026
Interview
Good approach with a strong HR professional and consistent follow-up, but a long process with little feedback. Based more on intuition than on technical skills. the technical interview consisted in a lot of question related to both technologies that appeared on the job description, and others not even mentioned on it. Little transparency regarding other candidates.
I interviewed at Agilent Technologies (Santa Clara, CA)
Interview
Interview was fairly simple. It was easy to prepare for and interviewers were nice and helpful. I would recommend applying. Role can be remote or hybrid flexibility. Some are on-site roles.
Very relaxed, and they were kind enough to ask good questions and talk about the salary. I liked the interview, and did not have to wait long to hear the next steps.
