Pros
High pay, cheap benefits ($82 a month for medical, dental, vision, & prescription insurance), 2.5% of yearly salary bonus, good work-life balance, relatively easy job, no experience/college degree required. At times, hours will go by without having to work. Job can be done from the comfort of your bed. 216 hours of PTO. Was able to work from home during pandemic. Beautiful and modern office space. Extensive COVID-19 protocols.
Cons
Management can be clueless and has a tendency to micromanage. Frequent updates on status, including bathroom breaks are required. Limit of 5 sick days available every 6 months despite 8 days being available. Departments tend to throw blame at each other and bicker instead of working together to achieve a common goal. Field Service Engineers (who we work with mainly as part of our job) tend to be rude and ignorant to current procedures and processes. Philips is similar to US Air Force...every month you are required to undergo training and complete written examinations on material you are required to learn in Philips University every month. Frequent changes to process are hard to keep up with.
