Thank you for your review. We appreciate that you've taken the time to look back on the years you've worked for Philips in New York. We're sorry to hear that your experience, especially when it comes to the sales culture, could have been a lot better. Our management is also reading all Glassdoor reviews and is taking notes. We're constantly striving for improvement, of course not only as manufacturer but also as employer. We hope that you've already found, or will soon find, another position that is more to your liking. Wishing you all the best from here on out.

Pros

401k match is decent, unlimited PTO

Cons

Quality system is extremely convoluted and unorganized, it makes it really difficult to know what needs to be done. Unusually high turnover, this makes project progress come to a crawl especially when there's people constantly trying to learn their own roles so it becomes a situation where the blind leads the blind. High turnover also means very limited or downright no advancement opportunities since new managers have no idea on the work you did before they joined organization. The entire time I was there, none of my quality team members were promoted. Excessive paperwork for defects related to products released to the market, quality is in charge of this and the entire team was swamped with these paperworks taking priority over project work. Ineffective quality leadership, managers was more of a delegator and had no real power over their own teams. They were simply relaying the instructions given by their leadership. My manager was a micromanager and downright hostile to my team and other people.

Pros

Good benefits and good brand

Cons

If you pay close attention you will notice apart from the team in India they need as engineers or a select few Asians 90 percent of the USA team is white. CEO president and 90 percent of managers. Including all lower level staff. 90 percent all white. And they blame and fire women the most. If women managers or other admin staff don’t kiss as they are fired.
