"I've worked for Agilent since 2005 and seen a lot of changes as the organization has adjusted its market focus from life science research to pre-clinical and clinical marketplaces. Overall it's a good company to work for. At times it can honestly be frustrating in dealing with the entropy that needs to be overcome to do anything innovative. Be ready for a challenge if you're looking to be a change agent. Migration of R&D/Engineering/Mfg jobs off shore is a concern to be aware of."

Working at Agilent Technologies in La Jolla, CA: 1 Employee Reviews

Field Scientist

What do you like about working at Agilent Technologies?

"The job provided me with industry experience as an FAS which helped in making my resume more versatile. It also allowed for travel to various states and regions of the U.S."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Focus upon the traits that are required for the job such as love of travel, interacting with others, a great interest in helping others to conduct their research, and your skills in problem solving, especially in regards to QPCR/Genomics applications."

What don't you like about working at Agilent Technologies?

"The management team in great need of restructuring. No support was given when needed and there was a lot of shifting the blame and responsibilities to lower level employees that were new to the company. Also, sales meetings also often infringed upon personal time (i.e. weekend/holidays)."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Regional and executive sales manager/directors often had big egos. Therefore, try to appeal to the sales manager of the region for which you are applying. Be sure to keep records of everything you do (including emails), as the sales managers often will forget things that they've previously told you."
