Keysight Employee Voices

See what our employees have to say about working at Keysight.

Joining Keysight from the Test & Measurements world, I was amazed by the people, the work environment, and the tools the company has provided to achieve customer success while keeping a very comfortable work-life balance. As a sales professional, I find myself surrounded by talented people with inspiring careers, and their experience shows a path towards success that aligns with the company strategy. In every decision, you can sense the spirit of the founders, “A company has a responsibility beyond making a profit for stockholders; it has a responsibility to recognize the dignity of its employees as human beings, to the well-being of its customers, and to the community at large.” – David Packard

 

Fourteen years with Keysight has given me the opportunity to work with people from diversified backgrounds and expertise, and many are experts in their fields. This exposure has helped me grow as a person, both professionally and personally – working with the best and tapping these great minds has encouraged me to get better at what I do, and I’m empowered to achieve my full potential. Keysight also provides the opportunity to constantly sharpen my saw so that I can be ahead of the game and perform at my best ability. At Keysight, the possibilities for personal and career growth are endless.

I love the energy and diversity that’s embedded in the Keysight culture. I was recently given the privilege of working with a small but dedicated team of young talents to create value within Keysight’s graduate community and develop my skillset beyond my role as an engineer. Working alongside the team is easily my favorite part of my Keysight experience so far. I feel like I’ve been able to creatively engage myself whilst making a direct positive impact on the company and its wider community.

I feel lucky to join Keysight as a career starting point. I am deeply touched by Keysight’s training for new employees, and I feel like I am improving and growing every day. I firmly believe that Keysight fully vales the contributions and achievements of women in the workplace.

Working at Keysight has been an exhilarating and a truly rewarding experience. The supportive and open-management culture has always encouraged me to try new things, and help is always provided with a smile when asked for. Keysight has become a very close friend of mine in a very short time!

As an employee with special needs, Keysight and its employees have never made me feel any different from them. They have challenged me and supported me throughout my 20 year career. My confidence in the company has been reinforced by our top management’s stance regarding social awareness, diversity, and their response to natural disasters, including the recent pandemic.

 

I was warmly welcomed by the Keysight Israel team when I started at Keysight. I was surprise by the flexibility I was given for many of the things needed for my job, I am happy to work In a very professional environment and a supporting team.

Keysight’s innovative and inclusive culture plays a significant part in my job satisfaction. I am valued and heard as an individual and a team member. I’m confident that, working together as One Keysight, we will achieve our vision to connect and secure the world.

At Keysight, delivering state of the art products and solutions with 100% customer satisfaction is our primary goal. We do this with the highest standards of business ethics and with zero tolerance for harassment or discrimination of any kind, which I’m really proud of.

 

Keysight offers many dynamic career opportunities, and you’re not locked into a predetermined path. I’ve been here less than three years, and I’ve been afforded the opportunity to work in three different functional areas within the company.

Being at a global company like Keysight has allowed me to work with people from different backgrounds, cultures, and nationalities. I’ve seen how bringing these diverse viewpoints together has increased our team’s creativity, allowed faster problem solving, and enabled me to learn new skills.

 

I worked as an intern at Keysight for one year, then was hired after graduation. The internship was challenging, but being able to experience real work in the industry made my internship rewarding and valuable. As an employee, I gained many learning opportunities and strong support from my manager and team. Because of this, I could start to see myself become more confident, and I see future prospect in growing and developing my career.

Keysight’s culture is a huge part of my job satisfaction.  We take care of our customers, our business, and our people, and that helps create a relaxed atmosphere of respect and great teamwork.  

At Keysight, people are willing to go the extra mile and are genuinely dedicated to their careers.  It is an incredible place to work because of the culture and the people.  After 26.5 years I still feel that I am in the best place to work.

I am honored to be part of the R&D team at an industry-leading company. Keysight makes employee safety a priority, provides us with opportunities for growth and development, and give us rewards and recognition. This is a workplace that motivates and retains talented employees.

 

As a Keysight Application Engineer, the new and varied challenges I face each day already make my career endlessly engaging and enjoyable, but it is the team I work with and the support I receive within the company that makes it truly special. Joining Keysight means joining a new family.

Working at Keysight has been a wonderful experience for me.  I get to work with many different groups and understand their roles and responsibilities. Resolving customer issues is very satisfying, and my manager gives me a lot of support and flexibility.  I'm proud to be part of this great team!   

My role at Keysight allows me to work on challenging and rewarding projects and collaborate with the smartest people in the industry. I learn something new from my coworkers on a daily basis. Also, because of our One Keysight culture, I’m able to see the direct impact of my work at Keysight, and how the value of my work fits into the bigger picture.

 

I originally joined Keysight as an intern in R&D, with the knowledge that I was at a company with a great history of innovation and a culture of technical leadership/mentorship. Now, as a full time employee, it’s great to be a team member contributing to Keysight’s future, one that is as innovative as it always has been.

Keysight is not just helping customers become market leaders, we are living and breathing innovations. This spirit tickles down to teams who are encouraged to brainstorm ideas, embrace the bigger picture, and wear different hats. What has surprised me is how approachable upper management is. The company is truly invested in your growth and wants you to succeed.

I joined Keysight during the COVID-19 pandemic, and I’ve been working from home since my second day on the job. Despite that, my team has welcomed me warmly and supported me fully so that I feel comfortable with Keysight, our culture and my role.

It is refreshing to work for a purpose-driven organization and experience being part of something bigger than yourself. The possibilities to learn and grow are simply endless here.

Working at Keysight has been a wonderful experience. The company’s result-driven approach provides an opportunity for a healthy work-life balance, and managers always encourage us to explore more career development opportunities inside and outside Keysight.

 

As the newest member of my team, I’ve been given the best mentors and resources that someone right out of school can ask for. The most important thing to my team isn’t my background, but my willingness to learn and contribute. I’ve had the opportunity to try roles in marketing, applications and now R&D, with a lot of fun and travel in the mix.

 

Keysight’s culture is second to none and is a big part of why I love working here. There is a strong sense of community, and leaders foster the belief that good ideas can come from anywhere in the organization. The emphasis on integrity and social responsibility, both inside the company and in the broader community, make working for Keysight a rewarding experience.

I am proud to be part of a company and department with a breadth of diversity. We all come from different backgrounds and work well together as “One Keysight” and have a good time. I love the autonomy and responsibility I am given in my role. I am able to contribute towards our company goals in a way that is meaningful to me.

Keysight doesn’t just talk about accelerating innovation, we live it. We continually promote and encourage innovation from the entire global team. As someone who is constantly looking to innovate in my marketing role, this culture makes it easy for me to bring new ideas to the table. It keeps my job fresh and interesting, makes me feel that my contributions are highly valued, and ensures I am always delivering the best to Keysight’s customers.

I am proud to work at Keysight. Because we offer such a diverse product line across many segments of the electronic industry, I have access to a very broad base of knowledge, and I get to work with clients in a variety of fields, which increases my learning even more. If I am a drop of water, Keysight is the sea, with surging waves that have the power to wash away any obstacle. It is because of the embrace of the sea that drops of water can create infinite possibilities.

 

My favorite thing about working at Keysight is how well we embody our culture throughout the company. Even in Marketing, we are constantly innovating, and developing ourselves into a world-class marketing organization. Everyone works together towards the end goal, regardless of their position – I have worked as closely with Marie Hattar, our Chief Marketing Officer, as I have with people directly in my team.

As a college student just graduating, engineering new technologies was daunting to me. When I was hired by Keysight, the training and mentorship I received helped me make serious contributions to important projects very quickly. My manager and team have always been there to help ensure my success.

Surprisingly, this original Silicon Valley company still holds true to its values of innovation and focus on entrepreneurship. Keysight’s start-up culture and global reach give me the freedom to develop new technology services and serve thousands of customers around the world!

I’m very proud to be part of Keysight because we have a unique culture which embraces diversity and inclusion. My manager gives me full support and flexibility to complete my work, and my colleagues give me guidance and assistant whenever I need it. I really enjoy working with this awesome team!

 

Keysight has journeyed with me from being single to being a mother of three daughters. When people ask me why I’ve stayed with Keysight so long, I tell them it is the satisfying balance I get – a fulfilling career and a place that I can find my identify. I had the opportunity to venture into my new marketing role after more than a decade in quality engineering. I am also involved in numerous women empowerment programs through Keysight, which lets me be a positive impact to the next generation of strong women.

I joined Keysight in April as a master's graduate. Because I started my job during the COVID-19 pandemic, I’ve spent a good deal of my time developing my understanding of Keysight’s business and solutions. Because Keysight is concerned about the safety and health of all its employees, including new recruits, I’ve been provided with an in-home training program, including using actual instruments. I am proud to be a member of a company that cares about its employees, and I hope to be able to contribute to Keysight with results as soon as possible.

2020 marks my tenth year with Keysight. When I first interviewed, the community culture was apparent in the employees I interacted with and was one of the reasons I accepted the position.

I was a transplant to Sonoma County, having moved to the area for my new job, and nothing more. Today, it is my home. It is where I strived through two environmental crises and a global pandemic, along with my coworkers who became true friends. I have also had the pleasure of offering the same experience to new hires who joined Keysight from across the nation. My Keysight relationships are the core of what brings me to work every day.

Out of all of my years working in the Test and Measurement industry, Keysight is the company I’ve enjoyed working for the most. There is a wide range of opportunities for me to contribute my existing skills and develop new ones. Knowing that I have the opportunity to work with long-time innovators in the test and measurement industry encourages me to learn more. I also know that they are always willing to help me develop my skills in ways that I did not experience at other companies.

I appreciate the genuine acknowledgment of my efforts and contributions to Keysight, and the emphasis Keysight places on work/life balance. After 5 years working for competitors, I actively pursued job opportunities at Keysight. Being able to return has been awesome and I’m not planning to go anywhere else.

At Keysight, I get to work with the brightest minds in the industry. Because the technology industry moves so fast, I get to learn something new every single day. My management knows my strengths and challenges me (in a good way) to expand, grow and develop.

In Keysight’s Global Marketing organization, we understand that we are one team, and we work together to accomplish the challenges and goals at hand. People really are there to support you and to help you. Because we work as one team, I can relate my efforts and work to the marketing team’s overall goals and Keysight’s priorities. I like learning from others with different skill sets, different points of view and from different cultures. At Keysight, it isn’t uncommon for me to start my day talking with my European colleagues and ending my day with a meeting with my teammates in China.

I really like the vivacious mix of constructive analysis, team collaboration, and an accessible Leadership team that pivots itself on respectfully challenging the status quo and taking on aggressive goals whilst keeping our customers and markets in our front vision. It makes Keysight a bright, bold, and fun working environment!

At Keysight, I have the freedom to shape and evolve my career by taking on challenges, solving multi-domain problems, and aspiring for bold goals – whilst maintaining fundamental values of respect, objectivity, and teamwork. The comradeship and open, accessible leadership flattens hierarchies across geographies and makes Keysight a high-energy, fast-paced, fun place to work. Keysight’s culture has a deeply-rooted commitment to rationality, meritocracy, and employee growth, with a goal of solving customer problems!

 

After a few decades of pioneering semiconductors for wireless standards, I’ve discovered that Keysight is the only company that marries state-of-the-art measurement systems with top-notch simulation environment for that industry, and that enables employees to pursue a career mixing customer interaction with deep-diving into technical research when developing new solutions. To help employees reach their career goals, Keysight offers them open access to internal Sales & Marketing, Application Engineering & Research, the best instruments in the world, and outstanding education materials. Most importantly, Keysight’s culture is to support all employees, independent of their internal organization and seniority.

As a product engineer, I solve technical problems on a daily basis. Every day is a new challenge and an opportunity to learn something new. I really enjoy the satisfaction of solving these problems, especially difficult ones. Each time a problem is solved, I grow more experienced and knowledgeable in the field. Along with a strong company philosophy, a supportive manager, and a strong team, I look forward to continuing growing with the team and the company.

I was a long-time Keysight customer before joining the team, and during that time I was continually impressed with the knowledge base and caliber of Keysight’s Field Engineers and the Application Engineers. When the opportunity to work at Keysight presented itself, I jumped at the chance.  Now I can say that I am truly grateful for the opportunity to work with such a knowledgeable team who all share a like-minded focus on continued learning, problem-solving and professional growth.
