Pros

Almost no bureaucracy in R&D!!! Job allows for creativity and innovation yet is also challenging. There's always an opportunity to learn here! The benefits and time off are unreal, the Santa Rosa campus is beautiful, and everyone is nice and helpful. The work life balance is amazing too -- you almost never have to work overtime and no one is breathing down your back to know when you come in and leave each day.

Cons

The products we make aren't that interesting unless you're a die-hard electrical engineer; and you'll struggle to explain to your friends what the company does. Santa Rosa is also a sleepy bedroom community and is not the best place for recent grads to move to and try to make friends. Keysight is trying to create a better sense of community among the younger engineers, but it's not quite there yet.

Pros

One star for the amazing people, one star for paycheck.

Cons

When I left, it took at least a month to decompress from the toxicity. KGM reorgs were a regular occurrence (5 in a 2-year span, for example) resulting in colleagues reappearing in roles in which they have no experience or disappearing all together. This created a culture of constant backstabbing and insecurity. Leadership picked favorites, ignoring the talents of many and this was reflective in bonuses. They undervalue and lose a lot of talented people, and it continues in spite of their recent positive quarterly reports. Reactionary marketing strategies result in a lot of wasted time and work. Read the rest of the reviews before taking on a role here. You will see a pattern.
