Pros

People who are passionate about delivering cutting-edge technological innovations for healthcare providers and their patients. A strong history of technological innovation. Strong brand recognition outside the USA. The employees truly care about one another! Even with all the challenges the company faces Philips is a great place to work!!

Cons

The healthcare industry has evolved dramatically over the past six years. Philips was positioned to lead the industry into that evolution however selected to stick with what had worked in the past under the belief the market was not ready and continuing to segment the healthcare portfolio into highly specialized sales channels would generate greater financial returns. Now the industry has consolidated and standardized and evolved beyond Philips's go to market structure and leadership is struggling to re-position its segmented sales channels and repackage its higher cost solutions as economically viable in an industry where "good enough" now still means good health care results.

Pros

Immediate team members, who struggle to satisfy management/customer expectations. A job which provides an income, despite being questionable in its salary bracket.

Cons

training is becoming a 'void.' instructors are leaving/gone due to dutch training limitations. leadership, depends heavily on your immediate rsm. above that metrics rule and you're an unknown, unless you kiss ... products, with exception of mri (netherlands) and cv (germany) are being outsourced - italy, china, etc. ct is a guess, with its 'new' state of manufacturing in cleveland..

Pros

Very little pros with the exception of coworkers.

Cons

Philips is a company in a constant state of change. And it's always change for the sake of change. Yes there are thought out reasons behind the changes put in place but they're never seen through to completion and as senior leadership changes every 6 to 9 months they feel they need to make their own mark and more changes are handed down. In all instances these changes have resulted in a reduction in people. So there is zero job security within the company which makes for a very miserable place to work. Philips has raped a once progressive and growing company to make up for their lack of leadership in other divisions of the company. Respironics was an industry leader with a strong outlook and double digit growth. That all came to a crashing halt when it was purchased by Philips. All the strong leaders that created Respironics have moved on because of Philips and the company is in a constant struggle to catch up with the rest of the industry because of the reduction in R&D spending after Philips took over. Respironics is not a place to bet your future on as the leadership shows constantly that they have no idea what they are doing. They constantly combine divisions then break them back apart. It all reeks of little to no thought and no caring about the future. This company is only concerned with the current quarter results. Which is a direct result of the leadership changing so often. They get their money and run. No care for the future. Which leads to the fact that this company has no future. Respironics will be sold off to a competitor who will shut it down to just bump up their market share.
