Left Due to Disability Discrimination

Pros

I gave two stars instead of one because the inclusion and diversity team was extremely supportive and the HR representatives I worked with were kind to me and at least heard me out. Ultimately, though, nothing substantial was done to prevent the discrimination, forcing me to have to leave.

Cons

Recently, they have started becoming stricter about employees having to be in the office, to the detriment of their disabled employees. It became more and more difficult for disabled employees to be given permission to be in the office less than 3 days a week, even if their job had been successfully performed remotely. I had managers who stood up for my needs for a few years, which allowed me to do my job. Unfortunately, a new manager joined the team who was outwardly discriminatory and fought tooth and nail to deny my accommodations despite my having successfully done my job almost entirely remotely for 3 years. I made myself sick just to sit in an almost empty office building multiple times a week doing work that could have been done remotely. Her disdain for my disability then bled into her overall treatment of me and I made the choice to leave. She is still at the company. After my departure, my role was posted on LinkedIn with a special message about the role requiring certain levels of physical endurance - effectively stating that the manager did not want to hire another disabled employee. That was ultimately what solidified my decision to write this review.

Pros

Philips is full of great benefits and great people. There is an emphasis on a work-life balance, and it's well shared across the company. Obviously you might be stuck with a manager that does not share this mindset, but for the team I am on, and for the people I talk to (both in Nashville and around the US/Globe) it is a recurring theme. There is also a strong focus on the end user, which is typically a patient. They do their best to drive the point home that the work you do will likely aid in saving someone's life, or aiding in their care.

Cons

The ship is slow to steer. There are some highly ambitious individuals here, but I've seen some ideas get stomped out, not because of manager's or a culture that stifles innovation, but rather the amount of red tape that exists. It should be noted that this is likely exacerbated in my current role, but felt it should be mentioned. The data and tech literacy of the company is quite low. If you are looking to do analytics or want to work with data there will be a lot of hair pulling involved while getting said data, as well as communicating its worth.
