      Worst Experience at a Company I Love

      Long term resource planner
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Not speaking to the organization I am in but to the company. The benefits are great at Philips, everything from paying your gym fees to a ton of time off. Sick leave is also generous. There are managers that exist at Philips that truly care about their employee's and want you to grow within the company but as a person too.

      Cons

      Speaking to the organization and not about the company. It is terrible. It is an abusive place to work with management that loves to micro-manage everything possible. I am not kidding I was asked to show how I have my email inbox set up. I would stay away from this job, I am actually trying to leave it as we speak. Work at Philips but never, ever take this job. They will sell you on how great it is and how "you'll run your own region" but they spend so much time hovering over that you don't run it at all. I have had some bad jobs in my life but this one takes the cake. The last one I would note, you have a ton of vacation at Philips but the management that runs this role basically won't allow you to use it sighting that "they cannot have more than two employees off a day" when there are 52 people split between two supervisors. Think about how many people take days off around national holidays... good luck because you have to compete with your co-workers now to even use that vacation.

      Pros

      Pay is decent. Excellent 401k.

      Cons

      Management is very toxic. No one knows how to do their job and they refuse to give the employees a proper billing system to help make the job easier. Everything is haphazard, especially with management. They continuously pile more and more work on you with everything being the priority. Management never responds to your emails and micromanaging is rampant. The manager has a very condescending attitude and very toxic then wonders why team morale is low. If you ask questions about how to better do your job you are penalized. Management is not truthful, although they claim to be *transparent. You are given unrealistic goals with little or no guidance.

      Difficult place to work

      Project manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Diverse work force with a lot of interesting backgrounds. Great products that help the world.

      Cons

      Highly toxic environment, where bad behavior is constantly rewarded. Not much empathy or understanding towards work life balance. Long hours with little to no payoff. HIGH TURNOVER - Lots of highly skilled resources are leaving for better jobs because of the bad management.
