      Loved the Company (as a whole)

      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.

      Pros

      Company has the ability to be a great company.

      Cons

      Too many managers and "Good Ole Boy" clubs going on and Philips likes to practice a LEAN structure yet they go through layoffs annually and let go of good, dedicated employees yet keep all the upper management who are running the company into the ground. Run as fast as you can.
