Pros

401k plan is slightly better than industry average. It is literally the only thing I like about Philips

Cons

Everything I think my last post was deleted, so I’ll be gentle A healthcare company that has forced us back to the office on Sept 1 despite desperate pleas from employees. When those with young, unvaccinated children asked about exceptions, they were told to mask up! Terrible managers. Everyone is a micromanager only focused on their own careers. No real leaders growing talent. You will truly regret your decision to leave your company and come to Philips. Trust me Zero opportunities for growth. They just lie to you until you finally realized it's all bs

Worst company I've worked at

Pros

Technology is interesting. Benefits are standard.

Cons

Management provides no direction, cannot set priorities, cannot work as a team -each manager pursues his/her own agenda. Management has no idea what the team members are doing even though they use the latest management buzzwords like 'lean', 'daily management', 'kaizen', etc. People don't last more than 3 years and nobody is happy.

We do thank you for your forthcoming review. Honestly, this doesn't sound like the environment we hope to create - so I'm sorry to learn that from your perspective it is like this. Our managing personnel does read these pages as well, so your feedback could be taken into account.

Pros

Great PTO policy, sick time, fun events, the best 401k matching

Cons

Most departments here are amazing. The Parts Order Desk is just poorly managed. There's no future planning (such as shift coverage, company events/meetings), poor communication or lack of communication, inability to stick with a plan, and unprofessional catty behavior. It's wildly inefficient with process issues taking months to address if they're addressed at all.

Hi there, thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts and experiences here. Good to hear you're generally pleased with our company. But it's regrettable to learn that you're not quite happy in your team and with the management. We do recommend discussing your concerns and feedback with your HR person, as he or she has the resources to improve your experience. As higher management is active on this platform too, consider your feedback duly noted. We hope you'll be able to improve things, all the best in your career.
