      Pros

      The company is employee friendly and innovation driven. There is a flat hierarchy and the atmosphere is one of co-operation to bring out the best in each other.

      Cons

      There should be better care taken to face difficult times like the economic crisis

      Management is disconnected

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Interesting industry - in healthcare, you have the opportunity to know that the work you're doing can help to change lives. - Name recognition - a big global company that most people know (even if you do have to prompt them by saying "you know, the light bulbs") - Global company. There is opportunity to work in various places around the world, if desired.

      Cons

      - Management makes decisions without understanding real impact on employees. Most often, - Compensation does not reflect industry standard or personal effort. Salaries are generally below average. Bonus structure continues to get worse. Much of the compensation plan is based on factors that only Sr. Management can impact. Individual contribution is not valued for salary consideration. - "Good ol' guys" club is apparent. Long stints at the company mean that people who shouldn't be promoted are given management roles because their friends help them along. You have to tread lightly to be sure you don't offend the wrong people. Lots of game playing.

      Large global company -- much good, some bad

      Engineering manager

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Philips Healthcare is a large, global company and has good benefits, and seems to pay competitively, and they encourage wellness and balance. They have many systems in place that leverage their size to their advantage, and some that are a benefit to the employees as well. The company has many resources to help get the job done.

      Cons

      Philips has suffered from the economic woes of the past few years, and being based in Europe will probably continue to be slow-performing for a while. Their size can mean frustrating bureaucracy gets in the way of progress. Also, a trend toward shifting more and more engineering resources to India and China may mean limited opportunities in the U.S.
