      Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us here. We are here to listen and learn and we take this very seriously. At Philips we believe that the best place to work is an inclusive place to work. This means celebrating and fostering a work environment in which all of our people’s ideas, knowledge, perspectives, experiences and styles are valued. It also means that all individuals are treated fairly and respectfully, have equal access to opportunities and resources and can contribute fully to Philips’ success. If you ever feel mistreated or unequal, please talk to your manager about this, or contact the Philips Ethics Line. About getting time-off, we don’t want our colleagues to be stressed out! Although we do understand that our company can be fast-paced and dynamic, we don’t want you to be overburdened. That’s a valid point. Thanks again for sharing your review and please know that it’s appreciated.

      Defib Business Struggling

      Pros

      Awesome, live-saving product. Smart talent. Average benefits. Modern, open-minded policies about working remote and flex time in most departments. Big site with amenities like cafeteria, gym, play field, and various on-site services. Opportunities to move around the company.

      Cons

      This business unit seems to continue to struggle, getting bogged down in inefficiencies related to QMS maintenance and chronic under-staffing. This gets in the way of true success in product development, delivery and the revenue potential that's there to be captured in this market. Working there is like swimming on molasses... Progress and change are very slow. Compensation is below industry average.

      Pros

      Good compensation Good work life balance. Flexibility to work from home

      Cons

      Good people are let go because numbers don't add up. De-motivating and highly uncertain environment Few people are capable enough to get the full picture of a complex project. And their opinion is lost in the endless discussions on unimportant topics

      Hello, although we enjoy hearing that you found a good work-life balance and have good compensation, we do regret hearing that you feel like you work in a de-motivating and uncertain environment. We would like to advise you to speak to your HR representative about this. Thank you for taking the time to review our company and for the you have been doing for us.
