Pros

Excellent Benefits. Empathetic Management. Flexible Hours.

Cons

REALLY early hours if you are based on the West Coast. Expectation that you will start your day at 4AM regularly. Really white, male organization. We just had IWD and there was a focus on how many women in senior leadership but I'm not seeing that. I am a L80 and I am regularly the only woman in meetings and the rest are all white men. The diversity clearly isn't in my department.

Hi there, thank you for taking the time to review your employer. Your feedback is very welcome. We're glad to hear that you're keen on working for Philips in Alpharetta and that you're happy with the provided benefits and flexible hours. At Philips we believe that the best place to work is an inclusive and diverse one and we regret that you don't see the diversity you expected to see in your department. When it comes to the working hours: we understand that having to start very early is not always too ideal (or possible). We'll make sure to forward your feedback and advice to our management, but please feel free to share your thoughts with your HR representative as well (if you haven't yet). Thank you again for leaving your review here on Glassdoor and thank you for being on board!

Pros

Good name on your resume, Sonicare is a beloved brand.

Cons

Toxic environment where shortsighted expat leaders rotate in and out on their 3 year contracts and do what they need to get their bonus and move on. Politics everywhere, leaders with huge egos just looking out for themselves, minimal training and investment into people, constant firefighting and repeating the same mistakes over and over, dated campus and buildings, below market pay, and HR is abysmal.

Pros

The people around me, at my level are fantastic to work with. The office environment, while cubicles, is nice and the campus is beautiful. There is a lot of meaningful work to be done. The salary, benefits, and work life balance are good.

Cons

The director level is horrible. There is a huge disconnect between the directors and the people actually doing the work. The corporate norm is for directors to get all the credit. The folks doing the work might get a thank you if they're lucky while the directors get full credit for having an idea along with monetary incentives. It's incredibly frustrating. The director level is currently making bad choices regarding future data grown and report maturity, reverting away from centralized visualizations to Excel only solutions.
