Pros

Decent healthcare benefits and good 401k matching offered

Cons

Poor leadership and management, specifically in Image Guided Therapy Devices. With Medical Devices, quality should be of utmost priority but there is a lot of corners being cut to meet financial goals from the top management. Tons of turnover in leadership as well

Thank you for your review. We regret that the time you've been working for our company in Plymouth hasn't been positive by far and are very sorry to hear how you feel towards our management in particular. We place the customer first and attach great importance to delivering save, effective and reliable products. As your experience doesn't reflect this, and we don't tolerate actions or behaviors that undermine the quality or regulatory compliance of Philips or our products, solutions and services, we encourage you to raise this through a Speak Up concern, so this can be investigated thoroughly (https://secure.ethicspoint.eu/domain/media/en/gui/100518/index.html). We follow-up on all concerns raised. Thank you once more for this review. We wish you all the best from here on out.

Pros

The people in non- upper management roles that work there are fantastic. Great sense of community onsite and the culture champions are consistently looking for ways to make work life better.

Cons

Very poor communication on the strategy for the business unit. Leadership publicly promotes innovation and new ideas to be presented but then those ideas are shot down or penalized in private by current upper management. The business unit leadership says that don't want excuses for project delays but will then decide to do 3 major layoffs in the first two quarters with no transition plan, no support for gap in resources and no expectations to delayed progress.
