Pros

Philips Resuscitation (Heartstream, originally) are a group of some of the finest research and clinically minded developers with whom I have worked. Strong benefits and good compensation package.

Cons

As part of Philips global companies, and by the inclination of a number of managers project and business management is aggressively and uselessly competitive, to the detriment of products and schedules. Decisions are arbitrary and often focused on sabotage of competitive projects, or cover-up of poor decision making. Good people are RIFed to cover bad managers, with the explicit support of HR.

The company was good when it was just Respironics, but it is suffering under the weight of Philips.

Business Outlook

Pros

My peers were good engineers who cared about their work. Flexible working hours, depending on who your manager is. On par wage with other companies in the industry.

Cons

Endless meetings that don't allow for any real work to get done. You are pegged into an org chart position with little ability to grow. Designs lacked creativity and innovation was stifled in fear of an FDA review. Unrealistic project schedules were driven by management with no input from the engineers.
