      Volcano Days are over... Philips is great but transfer of knowledge overseas are written on the walls

      Pros

      Worked in R&D for many years. Great products and brilliant engineers to work with. The day to day work is great as you never know what you will be working on. Cross-functional teams are very helpful and will bend over backwards if you get to know them. PTO and Prior Volcano Management was great.

      Cons

      Morale is down on all levels and departments no matter how hard management has tried. There are a tons of projects to work on but not enough resources so everyone is stretched very thin causing people to leave and be stressed out. Management made many bad choices from 2015-2017 and everyone in R&D is paying for this now. Tribal knowledge has now been retiring and no incentive to keep engineers in Rancho. Many good engineers have left who know the process, the product, and the design very well. Pay is terrible compared to other companies in the area. Philips management was brought in with the merge and it has not been good. most are just destroying the team and thinning out to move jobs to Netherlands. Philips is a great company but there is no expectation for them staying in Rancho Cordova which makes everyone worried.

      Pros

      Good benefits, modern facilities (way too open though)

      Cons

      Horrible cold environment. Sadly there is no company culture. They have an "open space" office set up where you have to sit on a different cubicle everyday supposedly to improve communication but it is actually worse. You feel isolated and not a part of the company even when a few managers do try their best in their own way.

      Pros

      . Agile working . Nice office . ok benefits

      Cons

      . There is a lot of office politics going on. If you aren't an extrovert and friendly with the right people then you won't go far. . There is a reluctance to accept new ideas . There is a lot of talk/meetings with not a lot actually happening.

      Hi there, thanks for writing a review on your experience while working for us. It sounds like you found some really positives elements to your job, but also like you're not having the best experience yet and we regret hearing that. We'd like to recommend you talk to your line manager about what can be done to make your ideas heard. Thanks again for your review and for all the work you're doing for us.
