ProsIntelligent, committed people working to better patient care.
Every now and then you get to work in a dream team and it's almost magical.

ConsThe occasional lead who doesn't understand that praise should be public and criticisms should be private, and not the other way around.

Advice to Senior Managementalign the different functional areas, and share information, goals and strategies.

Former Employee – worked at Agfa Healthcare

ProsGreat co workers who work very well together and have a great support structure in an environment that generally keeps its departments compartmentalized.

ConsUpper management really jumps the gun in allowing unfinished products into the market. This creates major issues with customer deployment.

Advice to Senior ManagementMake so me changes to the way your managers work with clients and employees. They really need to have a shakeup from the to down.

ProsUpside in Healthcare is tremendous and their is lots of room for growth in the sector. I like the people as well.

ConsUS operation is very weak. They need to restructure their sales organization to better fit the market and how they want to approach it.

Advice to Senior ManagementGet rid of the upper middle layer that produces little and expects much. This is dragging down the company tremendously.

ProsAgfa HealthCare is a dynamic and challenging environment to work in. There are many committed employees at every level of the organization.

ConsRemote senior management team based in Europe poses some challenges. Not unlike other organizations in the current economy, constantly have to make do with fewer resources was difficult.

ProsThe Tech Support Dep't had some very knowledgeable and skilled people who were very helpful and supportive of the customer and the field engineer alike.

ConsDue to recent personnel cutbacks combined with aggressive installation projects there were simply not enough field support engineers to support the customer base.
