Pros

The work life balance, can pretty much wfh whenever you need to and work hours are extremely flexible, no fixed hours for most roles

Cons

The learning curve is EXTREMELY low. Due to lenient work culture, it's hard to learn much. Most external employers understand this culture in Keysight and are led to believe that Keysight employees are unable to handle stress. They have experience with Keysight employees unable to perform up to par in other corporates. Most departments in Keysight have laid back culture and less technical compared to semiconductor, MNC, or local solution provider companies. If you plan to leave Keysight to explore other opportunities, you will find it hard to write your accomplishments in resume. It's a normal scenario for most graduate engineers. In summary, Keysight is good for graduates due to high starting salary and senior employees for laid back culture. However, if you plan to grow your career there, you have to be exceptionally good at BUILDING VISIBILITY and just enough technical skills related to your KPI.

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.
