Pros

Benefits are on par with other electronics corps this size. Middle management is good--they try to convey as much information as possible to keep us in the loop. However, since decisions are made on a nationwide scale, much gets lost in translation. Work teams/divisions are kept small and rapport is good.

Cons

It is a huge worldwide corporation. Executive decisions come from all over the United States. So, communication could be better. Salaries could be higher/competitive. For awhile, we were underpaid--they need to keep up with United States salary norms. Professional development is sometimes pushed to the side. Opportunities to tele-commute should be looked at.

Cons

small division in a non core segment of the company. not intergarted within overall Philips N.A. due to D. Davoudi, the VP and GM"s attitude and management style top leader is perceived as tyrant and un-ethical as a result career opportunities within other divisions are severely limited
