Pros

Collaborative teams and generally always willing to help at the employee level

Cons

Extremely political and judgmental environment, especially across the leadership level both regionally and globally. Lack of leadership qualities in the people hired to take a stand for what is right, festering an environment for unethical behaviour and herd mentality. The everyday working environment is filled with ambiguity, lack of clear direction and non transparent way of communication from key leadership. Overall some leaders are bureaucratic serving their own purpose and some very evident undertones of racism in decision making.

Pros

All about the Metrics. Make them look good an you will do fine. Some empowerment to make decisions on your accounts. Benefits are very good but usually healthcare costs will be higher than your pay raise.

Cons

Local Management will try to have you shift your hours at their convenience to avoid paying overtime. Local management lately has been terrible. Pay will never increase as fast as the COL Management demands a high level of world class service yet they don't compensate for such demands. Companies like Microsoft in the same area will pay almost double for similar stress level. Retention of newer employees has been substandard. Most leave due to 2 things. 1. Management. 2. Salaries. Most Hospitals will pay better and have less work to do. Work/Home balance isnt great. You are basically supposed to have Philips as the most important part of your life. Anything less and it is frowned upon. There is no stability in leadership. Constant change and not always for the better. Too many hoops to jump through for field engineers doing their jobs.
