Pros

Benefits were above bar compared to other industries

Cons

Promised benefits to continue to work during a major transition (Layoffs). Employees stayed for two+ years. Stabbed them in the back 2 months before without benefits. Worked there for years and saw the writing on the wall, left early on my own terms...they never improved. Products are CHEAPLY made. Should you decide to get scanned or get medical procedures, and see a Philips sticker, go somewhere else. Company outsourced to India. AUDIT THEM NOW. Violated FDA policies for 15 years+ and are attempting to cover it up by transferring to India. Purchased disposable products and attempted to rebuild them. *NOTE: I had a wonderful experience working there, but I cannot be silent.

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.
