      Cutting corners, hemorrhaging good people and profits. Stay away from Cleveland site.

      Pros

      A decent employee can look amazing by contrast of the 'old timers' who can't or won't do anything.

      Cons

      Little opportunity for advancement, change suggestions are not taken well nor implemented and there's reasons why so many of the product lines have the FDA knocking at the door all the time for audits. Corporate policies are stuck to even when they are bad for the customer, or employee or both because no one can think outside the box.

      Hello there, first of all we'd like to thank you for your dedication to Philips and for your valued service for the past three years at our office in Cleveland in the United States. Thank you too for sharing your views. As you know we had some pretty serious challenges in the past couple of years that led to some bold decisions and big changes. Our track record in quality has not always been perfect and we are building on past learnings to ensure that we deliver quality, innovation, and value to every single patient, customer and business that our brand touches. We'd like to advise you to make an appointment with your Manager or HR representative to discuss how your work environment can be enhanced. If you feel you would like to have an anonymous discussion please contact the Philips Ethics hotline.

      Pros

      Healthcare industry is fast growing

      Cons

      They continue to outsource accounting and finance. They don't listen to the numerous internal surveys they bombard you with. They need a big shake up from the top down.

      We would first like to thank you for reviewing our company. We regret to hear that there’s a feeling that your current management doesn’t seem to follow up with the feedback they’re given. Internal surveys are a great way to learn what’s going on and gives us the chance to improve things together with our employees. We want to empower our employees and make it possible for everyone to provide valuable contributions to the work we are doing as a company. We acknowledge the fact that the healthcare industry is fast growing and naturally this brings along challenges for us. We’re convinced that we can successfully take on these challenges together with you and we therefore advise you to schedule a meeting with your manager and/or HR contact to discuss this issue.

      RUN AWAY

      Engineer

      Pros

      There are no pros. I am trying to get away as quickly and silently as I can.

      Cons

      I wish I could give zero stars for culture. Everyone walking around depressed. Meeting rooms, whiteboard walls, and desks all engineered for collaboration but environment is such as though there are steel walls around every person and department: product research, function, design, electrical, etc....EXTREME siloing. I am trying to get away as soon as I can after I have uncovered major unethical practices. And these unethical practices are coming from those who adhere strictly to all the"rules" and processes...talk about major hypocrisy. Very dumb people. High turnover rate. Rigid to any change. People not keeping up with the change in market. Open your eyes, what has worked before may not work now because the market is changing! If you are smart enough to realize what is going on then you will run away. Managers and team leads focused on meeting deadlines and deliverables to get their bonuses with no care about the actual product. I can go on and on.
