Pros

Above average products. Excellent technology in all clinical aspects. Has the potential to be an great place to work should management be able to get out of their own way.

Cons

Company is run to attain revenue, period, in total disregard to ethics. Customer service or the customer is always right scenario is not on radar. This company’s upper to middle management is run from a financial mentality with lack of any real technical backround. Problem solving is done via the GE Six Sigma approach. Meaning you need a committee to be formed to find a common sense approach. This company is very good at spending hundreds, but with look to save pennies on a dollar transaction. Very difficult organization to work. A company full of BIG problems leading to continual delegation and essentially unanswered questions. Mostly EX-GE retreads managing this organization.

Pros

Good Benefits, flexible schedule, good pay

Cons

Toxic environment, management will keep putting more work on staff until they are overworked, if you ask for help you will get written up, if you make suggestions for improvement's you will get written up again or put on a PIP. Poor training which is then used against you for not training your self better. Speak up ethics complaint just shares the info with current manager who then retaliates against the employee. Just a tool to protect the company from lawsuits by employees. Manager takes employee's idea as their own. Worst job I have ever had.

Pros

Employee friendly HR policies. Competitive Compensation Strong Brand Reputation Healthcare Impact

Cons

Be cautious while joining as Software Technologist Role, Role is very much misleading and having undefined scope and responsibilities. I would suggest someone from Development role or wish to be in Development role should not join this role. In this role candidate may have to do everything other than development. It may be handling hardware/machines in their labs , installation/uninstallation SW or OS , some patch work etc. Assembly or disassembly of machine .At the end no relevant learning. Furthermore, there may be instances of favoritism within the team that can impact the dynamics. It's advisable to be prepared for potential challenges in team dynamics. Old team members try to keep information/knowledge/resources hidden from new joiners. That creates unnecessary pressure on the candidate Lastly, it's worth mentioning that Philips is currently facing certain challenges that affect compensation and work-life balance. If you value work-life balance, it's something to consider.
