Pros

Have been employed since it was Respironics. When it was a one man show it went rather well, mangers knew your work and cared about you as an individual.

Cons

Since it has become Phillips Respiroinics I have had numerous (3 in the past two years) managers who do not care or know the companies HR policies. Your just a number here and who cares about the time you devoted to making this company grow. Newer employess and managers have all the correct answers so they think.

Pros

There are some amazing people here. The focus on team work is great. Interesting work. There is some satisfaction in working in the medical device field and feeling that your work contributes to the health and welfare of others.

Cons

No direction. Worst management I've ever encountered. Stingy with resources including not funding changes that their own Six Sigma program suggests. Very rule-bound with little flexibility available to managers at all levels. Poor salary compensation. Heavy workload with insufficient support and poor scheduling which results in bottlenecks with some poor slob staring red-eyed into failure. An exhausting place to work. Most of the employees are demoralized and miserable.

Pros

Generous PTO, flexibility, work life balance

Cons

Lay off employees in every quarter. Your job depends on how your department works in a particular quarter. Top management always stay safe and it is mid management and employees under them are going to be laid off. Almost every day you will have to worry about your job. AVOID THIS COMPANY!!! I have also seen manager let her daughter work in the company and they weren’t impacted by the workforce reduction.
