Bad place to work if you have or want to start a family.

Business Outlook

Pros

The corporate campus location is close to my house so my commute is minutes vs hours when working in Boston at another company.

Cons

At the Philips corporate office, managers expect/demand employees to work at night and on weekends. There is no real work-life balance at this company. All the layoffs have resulted in way too much work for those left at the company. Such a shame as I thought this was my "forever" job.

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.
