Pros

The people I worked with were the best thing about the job. It's also great to work on medical devices and software that have the ability to positively impact people's lives.

Cons

In a 6 month time frame, I had 4 different managers. In the 3 years I spent there, only about 6 months was spent on products that shipped to customers, the other products were killed after significant investment. Many jobs in my business unit shifted to Brazil because that's where the director came from.

Hi there, thank you for saying a few words about your experience working for our company in Andover as Software Quality Assurance Engineer. We're glad to hear that you were surrounded by great people, but it's a pity that you weren't too happy with the (amount of) changes within your former department at Philips. Your feedback is very welcome and has been noted. We hope that you've already found another position, one that is much to your liking. Wishing you all the best from here on out.
