Cons

- 3.0Nov 11, 2023Senior Field Engineer/Field EngineerFormer Employee, more than 10 yearsSeattle, WA
Pros
All about the Metrics. Make them look good an you will do fine. Some empowerment to make decisions on your accounts. Benefits are very good but usually healthcare costs will be higher than your pay raise.
Cons
Local Management will try to have you shift your hours at their convenience to avoid paying overtime. Local management lately has been terrible. Pay will never increase as fast as the COL Management demands a high level of world class service yet they don't compensate for such demands. Companies like Microsoft in the same area will pay almost double for similar stress level. Retention of newer employees has been substandard. Most leave due to 2 things. 1. Management. 2. Salaries. Most Hospitals will pay better and have less work to do. Work/Home balance isnt great. You are basically supposed to have Philips as the most important part of your life. Anything less and it is frowned upon. There is no stability in leadership. Constant change and not always for the better. Too many hoops to jump through for field engineers doing their jobs.

Pros
They have a fantastic 401K plan. All other benefits middle of the road that all companies give out.
Cons
Poor management, or lack there of. Directionless for some managers, no enthusiasm, no enjoyment, no promotions (from a manager who stated early on they did NOT promote), no recognition, nothing. Collect a paycheck and go home. Oh yeah, if you get a CAPA, I was told I could be fired. WOW! I am incentivized to do a good job.

Pros
Remote work; great people; room to grow

- 1.0Aug 10, 2023Data AnalystCurrent Employee, more than 1 yearAlpharetta, GA
Pros
Collegial Environment: The friendly atmosphere has consistently been a highlight. Generous Health Plan: Comprehensive, though costly. Work from Home Flexibility: Convenient but with restrictions.
Cons
Bureaucratic Structure: A significant impediment to creativity and efficiency. Compensation and Benefits: Uncompetitive pay, non-existent bonuses, and failure to match inflation. Flexible Vacation - A Misnomer: Less accommodating than it appears. Restrictions on Remote Work: Diminished flexibility due to rigid scheduling. Company Performance and Layoffs: As of 2023, Philips Healthcare has been struggling, resulting in layoffs. The senior leadership's handling of these layoffs has been uncompassionate. Overbearing DEI Program: The implementation of Philips' DEI program has been perceived as overbearing.
5Philips Response5wThank you for taking the time to write this review. It's clear that your Philips experience overall has not been positive. We regret to hear that the compensation and benefits provided aren't what you had hoped for, that you're missing a certain level of sympathy from senior management and that you'd like to see changes made when it comes to the implementation of DEI. We're constantly striving for improvement, not only as manufacturer but also as employer. Our management is also active here on Glassdoor and is closely monitoring all reviews: your points of advice are welcome and will be noted. Thank you again for looking back at the 2+ years you've been working for Philips in Alpharetta. Your experience is important to us. We wish you all the best moving forward.
