Today, the facility in Bayan Lepas Free Industrial Zone is built on 63 acre land of manufacturing space and has more than 5200 employees. The facility also includes a Learning Center equipped with amenities such as computer laboratory, seminar rooms, resource library and a self paced learning laboratories, in addition to a well equipped sport complex , in-plant clinic, convenient store and auditorium.

Agilent Technologies has made tremendous strides since its modest beginning in 1972. We have earned recognition as a world class manufacturer of optoelectronics indicators and displays, microwave components, test accessories and instruments and a center of excellence for radio frequency/microwave (RF/MW) as well as IC designing. We have expanded our responsibilities to include R&D, marketing and providing business services and support for worldwide functions such as Global Finance, Asia Pacific Human Resource, Commercial Services and supply chain management.

With manufacturing, R&D, Marketing and worldwide business management support under one roof, Agilent Malaysia is now the springboard to the dynamic Asia Pacific region.

Working at Agilent can be a very different experience for many new employees. We have adopted a very casual approach when it comes to employee interaction and communication. Our "open office" practice of communication includes an open-door approach, management by wandering around, extended coffee breaks, and employee hot lines. Together these practices have created a culture of open, two-way communication between the Agilent Malaysia management team and the employees.

Being a high growth, high performance company, we have strong heritage values of trust, respect, and teamwork along with new Agilent values of speed, focus and accountability. Agilent Malaysia provides opportunities for growth, flexibility, innovation and development in an environment that rewards employees for their contributions.
