Pros

First of, most of the employees there are "temp" employees. As far as benefits that Philips offers I wouldn't know. The only thing that I like are the hours, They are from 7-3:30pm. no weekends. The Cafe area is pretty decent.

Cons

Everything besides what I said above. Being there only a short period of time I've come to the conclusion there is no moving up in this company. Half of their employees are temps and a lot of them have been that way for 5+ years. A multi-million dollar company and they cant hire? Very cheap to me. Also there is a very big latin population in the manufacturing side and I feel we are looked down upon. We are not talked to like human beings more like annoying children specifically in the gluing/testing area, there has been complaints about her but none acted upon. She has made woman cry thats how rude she is . The manager does not seem to care about her employees or their moral, nor does this entire company. Every time I go to lunch all I hear is how much people hate it there. I can now see why. Such a shame...

Sadly chaotic

Pros

The company is a big international corporation that has interesting products that could have a real positive impact. You will get to work with teams from all over the world which is interesting as you get exposure to other business units and get to meet colleagues who focus on research or work on different products.

Cons

Some business units are extremely chaotic so people end up looking into the same problem without knowing it. They are mired in process which keeps them from being creative and they rely on old ways to do things which stunts the ability to think forward. The director level managers don't care about their teams at all and only manage up. They do not communicate well with each other or their teams which creates chaos. It's actually sad that a company that has the capability to create really good solutions in healthcare, ends up producing flawed ones because they have mistakenly trusted middle and upper managers who only focus on their jobs instead of doing the right thing for the product and their teams.
