Moving to Cambridge MA is mistake

Business Outlook

Pros

Healthcare industry and big market

Cons

Philips moved its Andover MA office to Cambridge in early 2020, during the pandemic. Lots of employs live in north MA or New Hampshire. The commute can be as long as more than 2 hours--One Way. Many people left the company for that reason. There are only 1200 desks for over 2000 people--before the pandemic. People are supposed to share desks and spaces. That is good recipe to spread virus. The idea of hot-desking is simply dead and impossible. The new office is close to Biogen, which held a conference in January 2020 and spread the virus around the world. IT and HR service almost do not exist in the MA office. You have to call someone on another part of the world if you have any issue or question.

Great Benefits, Good Salary, Poor Management

Contracts manager

Business Outlook

Pros

The benefits are great! The 401k match is very good and it's difficult finding other companies who match similarly. The health benefits and better than some. The salary is okay, I'd say it meets industry standards. It's definitely possible to be paid more elsewhere. The site is moving from Andover to Cambridge.

Cons

The management is really bad from senior managers to directors. There doesn't ever seem to be a clear goal. They're constantly jumping and shifting from project to project and they don't take the time to do it right the first time. The company lacks transparency big time. Employees are more likely to find out that their jobs are moving to Nashville via a rogue/mistaken e-mail (this has happened) than an actual announcement from management. Another con is much of the business is moving to Nashville, and they're slowly farming the jobs to the Nashville location. Some managers play favorites.

Hi there, Thanks for sharing a few words about your experiences working for Philips. This means a lot to us, especially since you've been working for our brand for a couple of years already. Your input is appreciated. We can imagine it's harsh finding out that jobs move to another town via this way. That's definitely not the impression we want our employees to have. Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Philips' management is active on Glassdoor as well, so your feedback is duly noted. Wishing you all the best in your professional career.
