Pros

Depending on what section you are working in this could be a very good job. I worked there for close to 40 years in various positions. They treat employees with free lunches, outings. Good pay. Good benefits.

Cons

I worked there for close to 40 yrs. Stressful, you can be responsible for other peoples errors. This is in the CT division. They had problems with the FDA and had to shut down production so they had to let people go. Although I was dedicated for 40 yrs, did my job, had perfect attendance, I was one of the employees they let go, Very few people had as many service years as me. Over the 40 yrs there were departments I belonged to that closed. Because of my dedication to the company I was always able to get back in doing something and retain my seniority. This last time I called Adeco, the company they use for hiring, and tried to get back in when production started up. I was told the new policy was to not hire former employees, thus ending my career with Philips. This doesn't seem right to me, but I guess Philips doesn't care about loyalty. Also expect to work more than 40 hours a week, something I never had a problem with.

Hello, thank you for taking the time to write this review. That does mean a lot to us, seeing that you have been such a flexible and loyal team member for such a long time. It is truly appreciated, as we definitely value the experience that comes with the years. It is also great to hear that you have been fulfilling all these different positions and found the work culture and the benefits that are handled within the company good. It is of course unfortunate to hear this did not end like you would have wanted. And we do hope to have a working culture where young employees are able to learn a lot from the ones that have been with us for such a long time as much as possible. We will take a look at your feedback regarding this. In the meantime we do hope that you have already found your next challenge and we do wish you a lot of luck with all your future endeavors.

Pros

Good 401k match, company car, and schedule can be flexible

Cons

Low pay. If you're an FEP engineer, you have no chance of making a decent wage. Philips now believes in giving promotions without pay. Company doesn't value its own employees.

Thank you for writing this review. It is good to hear that you feel that we offer a flexible working environment. We think it is important that our employees are able to live their lives on their terms as well. We are sorry that you feel this way about your salary, we do hope to give our employees a fair compensation at all times. On the other hand it sounds like a lot of other benefits are to your likening, for example the 401k plan and the company car. That being said, we do hope that at least discuss the way you feel about this with your managing team. We definitely understand the importance of providing our talent with the appropriate compensation.
