Keysight: Anyone else feeling the pressure post-acquisition?

Hey everyone, Been at Keysight for a few years now, and lately, it feels like things have shifted. Especially with the recent acquisitions, I'm noticing a lot more pressure on performance metrics and a general sense of 'do more with less.' My team's workload has definitely increased, and while I'm pushing to meet goals, it's starting to wear on me. Has anyone else experienced this? Is it just me, or is there a broader cultural shift happening? Curious to hear if others are feeling the same, or if there are strategies people are using to navigate this. Also, are there any whispers about how these acquisitions might impact roles or team structures down the line? Just trying to get a pulse on the situation from people on the ground. Open to any insights or shared experiences. Thanks.

Yeah, I'm definitely feeling it too. Since the acquisition, it feels like the expectations have skyrocketed, but the resources haven't really kept pace. We're being asked to hit more aggressive targets with the same or even fewer people. It's creating a lot of extra hours and a sense that we're constantly in catch-up mode. I'm wondering how sustainable this pace is in the long run. Glad to know I'm not the only one noticing this shift.

Totally get where you're coming from. The post-acquisition vibe has definitely intensified the focus on measurable outcomes, which I understand to a degree. However, it sometimes feels like the human element gets overlooked. The pressure to perform can be overwhelming when combined with increased responsibilities and the constant need to prove value. I'm trying to stay positive and focused on my contributions, but the underlying stress is undeniable.
