Pros

Most of the individual contributors that I worked with were great people. There are a few that are awful. There are some good managers but not many. Great introduction into medical standards so you can go work elsewhere later.

Cons

Bullying, lack of accountability in leadership, zero interest in learning from past mistakes, just does whatever the competition does so they can be 5 years behind the competition. Sad place to work.

Pros

Pay and benefits are fantastic! Including pto, sick, holiday pay,

Cons

I work for the lifeline part of Philips. Since finding out about Philips selling that part. Has gone downhill. At first management was excellent, but the last 4 months as been horrible. Management doesn’t seem to care about us, over work. Only time we here from management is to let us know our numbers are not good! Management will ask how you feel, but will ignore once you let them know. Plays favorites big time.

Hello, thank you for sharing your experiences and honest thoughts with us. Great to hear that you were initially happy with your work environment, but we regret to learn that it has been going downhill for a couple of months. We can imagine that's far from ideal and not very motivating. We do advise discussing your concerns with your HR manager, as he or she is in the right position to address this internally. We'd also like you to know that upper management is active here on Glassdoor, so your review will be noted. We wish you all the best with your career!

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.
