Pros

There are no pros. I am trying to get away as quickly and silently as I can.

Cons

I wish I could give zero stars for culture. Everyone walking around depressed. Meeting rooms, whiteboard walls, and desks all engineered for collaboration but environment is such as though there are steel walls around every person and department: product research, function, design, electrical, etc....EXTREME siloing. I am trying to get away as soon as I can after I have uncovered major unethical practices. And these unethical practices are coming from those who adhere strictly to all the"rules" and processes...talk about major hypocrisy. Very dumb people. High turnover rate. Rigid to any change. People not keeping up with the change in market. Open your eyes, what has worked before may not work now because the market is changing! If you are smart enough to realize what is going on then you will run away. Managers and team leads focused on meeting deadlines and deliverables to get their bonuses with no care about the actual product. I can go on and on.

Pros

Learn what not to do!

Cons

Software professionals will find many negative issues with Philips Healthcare CT scanners. Unless you're desperate seek employment elsewhere! Expect a backward ego-filled environment and much chaos. Add in a co-op led random test environment and subservient culture for an inevitable business disaster.

Pros

Best in class products, company car

Cons

Don't come to work at this company unless you are ready to increase your sales by no less than 20%, and willing to accept a 1.5% merit increase. My first year, increased my territory by 35% (received a 1% merit increase), my second year increased by territory by 18%...received a 1.5% increase. The base salaries are below the industry minimum. I have had 3 National Sales Managers in 2 years, as well as 4 territory changes. Work life balance is a joke, be prepared to work weekends, nights, etc. I would PROBABLY recommend this company to my worst enemy.
