Pros

There really is not a good reason to work here; unless you regard a short and unhappy career as a good thing. Of course being mismanaged by a bunch of pot smokers out of Amsterdam, might not be a bad thing either. The drug will numb the pain of enduring with the daily incompetence of their management style. Another fine reason why US troops should not have to submit, to a foreign NATO commander in the field!

Cons

This place is a shadow of it's former self when the company name was Picker X-ray. Picker became Marconi, then it became Philips. Philips gutted the company by out sourcing everything that they could. Information Technology, Human Resources, Shipping and Inventory, and finally manufacturing was out sourced to China. The out sourcing is on going! Run don't walk the other way!

Pros

The people in non- upper management roles that work there are fantastic. Great sense of community onsite and the culture champions are consistently looking for ways to make work life better.

Cons

Very poor communication on the strategy for the business unit. Leadership publicly promotes innovation and new ideas to be presented but then those ideas are shot down or penalized in private by current upper management. The business unit leadership says that don't want excuses for project delays but will then decide to do 3 major layoffs in the first two quarters with no transition plan, no support for gap in resources and no expectations to delayed progress.
