Great benefits, hard to rise

Anonymous employee

Pros

Philips provides very good benefits, although a bit skimpy on the sick time. Pay is pretty much strictly at the median. Good place to start and get your feet under you. Lots to learn all the time.

Cons

Very very difficult to rise or change positions within the company. HR has a death grip on mobility within the company. The commitment to a downtown location was not well thought out. So much lost time and effort just getting to work and getting home. The IT infrastructure seems to be from the 1980's. We have learned how to work around a broken set of linked software systems. The open work environment with piped in white noise is also poorly thought out and about 10 years behind the times, and with only half the banks of lights able to be adjusted. If you find yourself under the on all the time lights, be prepared for eye strain problems....lol. Lastly, bonuses for hourly are terrible. Apparently tied to the worst performing divisions so regardless of how well you do or how hard you work, you get the shaft.

Pros

Philips ideals are impressive ...maybe at another facility!! I might consider another facility/location but not right now.

Cons

The quality department is full of gossip, back stabbing, politics, and bias/discrimination! Do not recommend working in the Quality department! Waste of my time ... had I known the leadership was like this, I would have avoided the place!!
