Pros

401K matching under Philips; work life balance; there are some smart & hard working people here.

Cons

More corporate politics than most places. Blatant favoritism gets you promoted from the top down. This is not an innovative company, R&D has not been an priority/focus. Upper management are typical old time white Europeans, once the merge is done they are probably gonna take the cash and go. Overall it doesn't feel like anyone care about the people working here. Middle management does not contribute much to the company, most of them are just people who stuck around long enough to get promoted into a managerial role. Pay is on the lower end.

Pros

The people. Most of the people are kind and wanting to move the ball forward. The time flexibility. The management team recognizes that they don't have alot to offer financially - but work life balance is free. They allow different work hours, a degree of remote flexibility, and a generous vacation benefit. Safety of the employees and eliminating hazardous activities/situations has always been a high priority.

Cons

It's not terribly inspiring. Working for a struggling company which is forced to make the hard decisions is not uplifting. The future at this location is pretty bleak at this exact moment. The last merit increase was in 2022. Therefore we're all working at a 15% discount based on cost of living changes.
