      Pros

      Company car, cell phone, gas card. And a few very few employees.

      Cons

      Holier than now attitude and micro managing from upper management, some tech supports (NSS) and FSEs . Also untrained managers. Very little understanding of customer support and team work. Losing valuable FSEs' due to low wages and high school politics. Can't move up unless you are friends with upper managers. Managers manipulate numbers to hit there numbers and bonuses. Unsafe working practices with expected 26+ straight working hours and late night calls while working on high voltage systems by yourself. Raises are only if your friends with management and even with advancement very little bump in salary. management to force all hours of coverage even after long hours are worked. Lies and manipulation through all levels. Customer sevice is At an all time low. Passing of systems with severe issues due to know one owning a service call. No balance of work/ family.

      Pros

      They seem quite eager to get me on-board. Offered a HEFTY signing bonus to move to a different city.

      Cons

      None so far... I'm just a bit in the dark as to what the day to day will be like. And I'm a bit nervous of what my expectations are, considering how much I was offered.

      We were sorry to read your comments but thank you for taking the time to share your views. We acknowledge this has been a time of great change at Philips, separating from lighting and shifting our focus to health tech has required a lot of dynamic working and fast-paced change. We hope this can also be a rewarding time for our employees as we broaden our skills, are exposed to new ways of working and move into new markets. I’m not sure we can effectively address your concerns here but as you know we’re currently in mid-year PPM cycle so now’s the best time to have an open and frank discussion with your manager. The whole purpose of the PPM is to give you an opportunity to review your career objectives, address the challenges you face and discuss longer-term career aspirations, which of course we hope will be at Philips. We’re glad your aligned with our mission and vision for the future and hope you’ll be able to continue to drive change and inspire others to do the same as we continue on our journey of transformation.
