The company was good when it was just Respironics, but it is suffering under the weight of Philips.

Pros

My peers were good engineers who cared about their work. Flexible working hours, depending on who your manager is. On par wage with other companies in the industry.

Cons

Endless meetings that don't allow for any real work to get done. You are pegged into an org chart position with little ability to grow. Designs lacked creativity and innovation was stifled in fear of an FDA review. Unrealistic project schedules were driven by management with no input from the engineers.
