Pros

Good salary, benefits. The products I sold helped improve patient outcomes and lives.

Cons

You may not get to enjoy the good salary and benefits for long unless you are upper, upper management. The middle and lower part of the totem pole are laid off yearly due to a very broken company, regarding product development fails and new product launch fails and FDA recalls. The aforementioned have impacted business negatively and the revenue is down two years in a row. So that means the folks making the mistakes and bad calls in upper management keep their jobs, and the revenue producers and support employees get laid off without thought. The hospitals consider Philips Healthcare very difficult to do business with.

Pros

401k plan is slightly better than industry average. It is literally the only thing I like about Philips

Cons

Everything I think my last post was deleted, so I’ll be gentle A healthcare company that has forced us back to the office on Sept 1 despite desperate pleas from employees. When those with young, unvaccinated children asked about exceptions, they were told to mask up! Terrible managers. Everyone is a micromanager only focused on their own careers. No real leaders growing talent. You will truly regret your decision to leave your company and come to Philips. Trust me Zero opportunities for growth. They just lie to you until you finally realized it's all bs

Pros

Technology is interesting. Benefits are standard.

Cons

Management provides no direction, cannot set priorities, cannot work as a team -each manager pursues his/her own agenda. Management has no idea what the team members are doing even though they use the latest management buzzwords like 'lean', 'daily management', 'kaizen', etc. People don't last more than 3 years and nobody is happy.
