Pros

Was a great Dutch company in 2006-2010, Culture was exceptional, diversity valued. 2010 things changed, It was common to see longevity of those seasoned employees who grew with company retire with the company. MBAs was the degree to have and it had great placement throughout the Organization. Money was great over 6 figures for Senior Management role. Simplicity Points rewarding for efforts. Gym and Cafeteria as awesome.

Cons

2010 things changed in the Organization. Quality Compliance a Nightmare, Poor documentation, validation and verification, mmm questionable at best. Leadership changed like the clock on the wall and so did the experience that departed. No ownership from top management. Long hours, expectations, work until it gets done. Average hours 75 hours a week, that was the expectations, not dare leave or you be let go for not being a team player. Late nights, getting home early in the wee hours 1-2am just to wake back up and start at 8am. 2012 was even worse and followed with 2013, and 2014.

Hi there, thank you for your review here. Although this is not the feedback we love to hear, we do appreciate you reaching out and letting us know. This gives us a chance to look into this specific location and position and start looking for improvements. While we love to hear that you were working with good products and appreciated both working from home and the benefits that were offered, the excessive overtime is something that worries us. If there’s one thing we love to do, it is taking care of our employees. Without you, we would have been nowhere. If you were still working in this position we would have recommended to have conversation with your (HR) manager, now this is something we will look into ourselves. We like to thank you for the work you’ve done and again for this feedback, and wish you all the best in the rest of your professional career.

Pros

Good benefits, good pay. Established organization that is diversified in Healthcare, Consumer Electronics, and Lighting.

Cons

Company is run by financial executives that have to cut employees regularly due to not meeting company financial goals. Employees always feel like they could be let go every year.
