Pros

There's some challenging work at this company if you really scramble for it.

Cons

Philips SRC management are scrambling for a strategy. We are reducing our product output and focusing on reboots of existing products, endangering long-term company prospects. It appears that global Philips is reducing the autonomy of Philips SRC in Monroeville, possibly due to slowing performance.

Pros

Hours were great, location was easy to get to, work is pretty easy. They feed you a lot! And you can choose to come in early and take an hour break that day if you’d like.

Cons

Management was terrible, they don’t even follow their own rules. No rewards for working your butt off when you’re short staffed, which you always are. Worst place I’ve ever worked. And HR is not to be trusted.

Pros

Steady paycheck interesting products to work on if you have the right title

Cons

Management does not understand what it takes to develop software systems for use with HW. They do a great job with the HW but lack the management expertise to create great software.
