      Pros

      The people around me, at my level are fantastic to work with. The office environment, while cubicles, is nice and the campus is beautiful. There is a lot of meaningful work to be done. The salary, benefits, and work life balance are good.

      Cons

      The director level is horrible. There is a huge disconnect between the directors and the people actually doing the work. The corporate norm is for directors to get all the credit. The folks doing the work might get a thank you if they're lucky while the directors get full credit for having an idea along with monetary incentives. It's incredibly frustrating. The director level is currently making bad choices regarding future data grown and report maturity, reverting away from centralized visualizations to Excel only solutions.

      Pros

      Large organization, opportunity to make big impact to global healthcare Experienced workforce

      Cons

      Highly political Weak and uninspiring leadership, concerned mainly about their job security, penalize progressive thinking, lack of support and development of talent employees. Honest hard working and innovative thinking talent gets outmaneuvered and replaced by less skilled political players. Company losing market share, frequent layoffs caused chronic employee anxiety around job safety and encouraged political behaviors, removed Employee Engagemet Survey, lack of 360 employee feedback for leaders Average employee age is 50+ Gloomy mood in the hallways Middle management talent with MBA degrees all left. Culture doesn't like doing things differently and doesn't embrace new ways of thinking. Lack of workforce diversity, foreign cultures and new ways of thinking at a disadvantage

      Philips Healthcare not all its cracked up to be.

      Pros

      There is plenty of work developing medical equipment. Philips had a strong brand in clinical healthcare at one time but it is fading quickly. The pros: 1. The name Philips. 2. Some really great people work there, great minds. 3. Andover site is very nice to work at, even has a gym for employees and a huge cafeteria.

      Cons

      Philips has layoffs roughly every six months, sometimes three times a year. There is little job security. The vacancies following job layoffs are filled by politically connected (friends with the senior leadership with demoted senior management people who then resign due to the demotion. It is a downward spiral to be wary of. GE products are taking off right now in the clinical space. There are very few clinical people, if any, left at Philips who actually can provide clinical knowledge and clinical use to a product. The engineers have no idea how a product is used clinically. It is amazing any products actually work. The team work has deteriorated and many folks there are just trying to keep there jobs. I am thankful to be out of Philips. If you have a job decision to make, work somewhere else.
