Pros

Historically very good, collaborative culture. People genuinely want to help each other, regardless of division or function.

Cons

2 things are changing. First, decisions are moving to higher levels (i.e. C-suite). Second, the leaders who know how to make actual products are being let go. The company is now run by "administrators" instead of "makers". This combo is making Agilent very bureaucratic and slow, even though the stated goal is to do the opposite.

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.
