      Pros

      The benefits are great! The 401k match is very good and it's difficult finding other companies who match similarly. The health benefits and better than some. The salary is okay, I'd say it meets industry standards. It's definitely possible to be paid more elsewhere. The site is moving from Andover to Cambridge.

      Cons

      The management is really bad from senior managers to directors. There doesn't ever seem to be a clear goal. They're constantly jumping and shifting from project to project and they don't take the time to do it right the first time. The company lacks transparency big time. Employees are more likely to find out that their jobs are moving to Nashville via a rogue/mistaken e-mail (this has happened) than an actual announcement from management. Another con is much of the business is moving to Nashville, and they're slowly farming the jobs to the Nashville location. Some managers play favorites.

      Hi there, Thanks for sharing a few words about your experiences working for Philips. This means a lot to us, especially since you've been working for our brand for a couple of years already. Your input is appreciated. We can imagine it's harsh finding out that jobs move to another town via this way. That's definitely not the impression we want our employees to have. Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Philips' management is active on Glassdoor as well, so your feedback is duly noted. Wishing you all the best in your professional 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.
