Pros

I loved the job I did. I worked for a previous company that Philips then came in and bought so lots of changes came which at first were good. They brought more order which was great. They were going to bring bonuses which would have been nice, hadn't had one in a very long time. They gave us our first raise in 5 years. They gave us parties with gifts which we weren't used to.

Cons

With changes that they brought to the company they purchased they brought in our manager who micromanaged everything we did which made our jobs nearly impossible. They made promises they didn't keep, like bonuses we never received. They took away our free insurance then charged us for it. They took away some paid holidays. The new HR department didn't care about complaints made. They eventually then closed the business and cost everyone their jobs.

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.
