Pros

Awesome VP of ops. She came from the line and worked hard to be up the ranks. Older management were all awesome but once Philips integrated their managers and beliefs into volcano people it wasn’t great. It was such an awesome place to work for before the political stuff came on board.

Cons

Orig workers were all great people to work with but when Philips mentality came in, they bulldoze the talents out of that building to build in Costa Rica, which had some major re-calls which when we built in the US, there were never a recall.

Thank you for taking the time to tell us about the 10+ years you've worked for our company as Manufacturing Supervisor. It's regrettable that changes were made within your department that you didn't think were for the better. Our management is active here on Glassdoor as well, so your feedback definitely won't go unnoticed. Take care, and all the best in your professional career!

Pros

Could be a great place, it has the right values of impacting the health and wellbeing of people.

Cons

Too complicated organizational structure with no accountability. All decisions are pushed up to senior leaders. Also a very Dutch company which does not like outsiders “if you ain’t Dutch, you ain’t much.” Very hyper critical of new ideas. Not a transparent operating system or behaviors.

Thanks for your review about your experience so far as Functional Leader, that's much appreciated. It's however unfortunate to hear that you feel that the company isn't as open-minded as it could be. Our goal definitely is to have a environment and culture in which everyone could have their say. Thanks for your honest feedback, I'll make sure to share it with a relevant team.
