We were sorry to read your comments but thank you for taking the time to share your views. We acknowledge this has been a time of great change at Philips, separating from lighting and shifting our focus to health tech has required a lot of dynamic working and fast-paced change. We hope this can also be a rewarding time for our employees as we broaden our skills, are exposed to new ways of working and move into new markets. I’m not sure we can effectively address your concerns here but as you know we’re currently in mid-year PPM cycle so now’s the best time to have an open and frank discussion with your manager. The whole purpose of the PPM is to give you an opportunity to review your career objectives, address the challenges you face and discuss longer-term career aspirations, which of course we hope will be at Philips. We’re glad your aligned with our mission and vision for the future and hope you’ll be able to continue to drive change and inspire others to do the same as we continue on our journey of transformation.

Pros

Massive company, many opportunities to meet people from around the world. Company generally has a pretty good reputation. Non-cash benefits are fantastic. Company cares about health and is working towards implementing beautiful work environments for their employees.

Cons

American groups are mired with cronyism. Terrible managers and senior employees can sit tight and get away with not doing much work (not sure why, there were many instances where massive screw-ups should have led to corporate governance, but nothing ever seemed to happen). Tons of turnover in the junior levels because of this. Salaries are not competitive given the expected work. 10% of the days that I spent working at this company were 16+ hour days, the next 15% were 12 hour days, the next 25% were 10 hour days, and the remaining 50% were 9 hour days. Whenever this was brought up during compensation review, we were ignored or told that the company was trying to lower its finance costs/Revenue numbers. Maybe you should try harder to expand that denominator or even look for some of that dead-weight I mentioned before.

Healthcare Company? Not really

Pros

If you are able to work independently and just do your job it is rewarding work. Once it was a real company.

Cons

Few, if any, managers have a clue what healthcare is or what any of the equipment does. The basic plan today is to get rid of anybody with experience and replace them with cheap and easy new hires who know how to phone for instructions. It's very weird to see FEs without a clue what the modality they are working on is used for.
