Interviewed Feb 2012 (took a day)
The interview consisted of asking multiple questions about first year EE material to basic Op-amp questions. I recommend making sure to prepare what ever it is that you are specializing in. Make sure to know everything on your resume. You don't want to not know about something that is on your resume.

Initial screening 1:1 on campus with an on-site follow-up. Standard interview except for the presentation.
30 minute presentation, full-day interview with several groups. The interview was well organized and efficient.
Questions covered essential programming concepts. Typical OO and C/C++ questions. Focus areas were in optimization, multi-threaded, OO, bit level manipulations, low-level architecture and peripheral access, various system buses, I/O throughput estimates, and instrument calibration algorithms.

Negotiate high with Agilent as raises are a pain. Agilent is not keeping up with industry.

Interviewed Jan 2011 (took 2 weeks)
Interviewed for an engineering position, consisted of phone screening interview, then in-person group interview. Felt the people were very professional and friendly; felt like it was a good working environment. Didn't get the job most likely because I didn't know a software tool well enough.
I also have to add that their recruiters were very respectable and courteous through the process. They followed up when they said they would, and also really did "keep my resume on file" and considered me for another position at Agilent a few months later. In today's job market, it's rare that recruiters are very professional, straightforward and keep in touch with you. So overall, I was very happy with the process/experience despite not getting the job.

Interviewed Feb 2011 in Santa Clara, CA (took a day)
I had a, what I though to be, a good interview with one gentleman. We chatted about infrastructure, implementations, and different analysis of varying products and services. This was round 2. Round 1 was a regular interview by HR. Weird thing was that it seemed like upper mgmt was not too keen on even opening up this position. Both the interviewer and HR made a one-sentence comment on it.
In the end I believe they removed the position or hired someone else.

Interviewed Nov 2010 (took a day)
This interview is fully technical, don't expect questions like tell me about yourself or experience as if they totally don't care about you. Dig out your engineering books an review them.

Interviewed Sep 2009 in Loveland, CO (took 2 months)
There was no follow-up as promised in the phone interview - rather, it was simply dropped. So if you're still in the running you'll know when they call again. If you don't make the cut, you may just never hear anything again, even if they say they'll let you know. Too bad - on the balance, Agilent used to have a reputation as being a professional organization. Perhaps better results might be had by trying the Life Sciences part of the company instead (said to be growing).

Elaborate, well planned interviews with many key stakeholders. Some phone interviews, some onsite interviews.
Well thought out questions for the team to see what I know and how I could help them in various real life scenarios that they are running into.
Questions around, "how would you go about doing .....".
