Pros

Pay and benefits are fantastic! Including pto, sick, holiday pay,

Cons

I work for the lifeline part of Philips. Since finding out about Philips selling that part. Has gone downhill. At first management was excellent, but the last 4 months as been horrible. Management doesn’t seem to care about us, over work. Only time we here from management is to let us know our numbers are not good! Management will ask how you feel, but will ignore once you let them know. Plays favorites big time.

Hello, thank you for sharing your experiences and honest thoughts with us. Great to hear that you were initially happy with your work environment, but we regret to learn that it has been going downhill for a couple of months. We can imagine that's far from ideal and not very motivating. We do advise discussing your concerns with your HR manager, as he or she is in the right position to address this internally. We'd also like you to know that upper management is active here on Glassdoor, so your review will be noted. We wish you all the best with your career!

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.
