Pros

used to be a good place to work. Things are not as them seem and it is starting to show.

Cons

Management has no clue as to what value the employees really bring to the table. Management by the spreadsheet is an epic fail

Pros

Nice office and accessible location in Guildford. Agile working environment. Positive culture and generally supportive office to work within. A lot invested in graduates for career progression.

Cons

Investment in graduates take precedent over the clinical expertise of sales force. Sometimes leaders ignore experienced clinical workforce. Declining moral. Lack of integrity by leadership. A lot of talk and little action.

Hello there, thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts about Philips. We're glad to hear from you that you have a positive outlook towards your former employer and your job as a Business Support Specialist in Guildford in the United Kingdom. We're pleased to hear that you felt that there was a positive work culture in the office. We also value your points of criticism about the ways of working. We actually developed a program called Accelerate! which is our multi-year, worldwide business transformation program to change the way we do business and unlock our full potential, to become more agile, innovative and entrepreneurial as a company.​​ In becoming operationally excellent, it is essential to learn and to build capabilities​, as well as to continuously build on our Growth and Performance Culture. As you mentioned in your review we create career possibilities for graduates, but we like to emphasise that we would like all our employees to progress in their personal and professional abilities.

Pros

There is no doubt Philips products are amazing and provide great imaging within the healthcare industry. The company itself devotes a lot of time to this division and is willing to continue to advance.

Cons

Management isn't good, and they have no direction or guidance with what you need to know. You're told one thing by someone of higher ranking, and then another by your direct report.

Hello and thank you for providing us with feedback as an employer. It is beautiful to hear that your passion and devotion for our products and customers is there. Thank you for being a part of that. We are all about clear communication, we are sorry that it seems that there have been some contradicting messages. We always hope that our employees are free to explore their talents instead of be restricted by anything. We would definitely advise to run this by the team if you are an employee that feels that way. We do wish you all the best with your future endeavors and we hope you look back on the great things that have been achieved in the time that you have been active with us.
