It's good to hear that your Philips experience so far has been a nice and educational one. That the compensation isn't meeting your expectations, is of course regrettable. Our management is also active here on Glassdoor and is reading all reviews and taking notes. Thank you for sharing your feedback regarding your position of Quality Manufacturing Engineer and thank you for supporting us in our mission!

Pros

Pay is fair at hire but yearly raises are insulting, even if your annual performance is excelling! Work from home/Hybrid option - flex schedule is now very limited. This use to be an amazing place to work (before Philips got its hands on Biotelemetry) but sadly it now feels like I'm in an abusive relationship I need to escape from. Coworkers are awesome, truly amazing and supportive people. Best part of my job is my co workers.

Cons

MICROMANAGEMENT is an understatement. It's suffocating, constantly making simple processes more complicated while being told we should be spending less time doing it. They make weekly changes that you can't even keep track of the "correct" way do it, till they change thier minds again the next week. MANAGEMENT looks at you as a number, no different then the reports you process. You're not a person with a life, you are thier property. They make reactive impulsive decisions instead of planned changes so we are always playing catch up. WORKLOAD is unmanageable. Doing the job of 3 people (after the massive layoff 8 months ago). We have weeks of mandatory overtime up to 8 hrs a week. (Even for Holiday weeks - They tried to mandate us to work on paid days off) Work Environment - Toxic, there is NO positivity. Everything is focused on negativity and what management has decided to fixate that week on. If one person is slacking or not up to par, all employees are addressed and micromanaged further! PTO - They have awesome PTO but they restrict our days off to such an extreme you can't even get time off. SUPERVISORS -They are just minions, they have no say in anything. They are in "meetings" with managers almost all day so they are often unavailable when in reality, they could be helping get reports processed like the old supervisors did! When short staffed, Supervisor should help! Advancement - All promotions have been on hold, they just started opening leader positions again a couple months ago so there has been no advancement opportunities for a while.

Thank you for describing the 4+ years you've been working for our company as Remote Care Coordinator in such detail. It is helpful to hear and understand. It's clear that your Philips experience has not been positive. We're sorry to hear how you feel about the management and the (amount of) changes they implement and that more tasks are assigned than manageable. It's very important to us that everyone feels valued and supported at Philips and we regret that this is not the case for you. We hope that we can encourage you to share your story via our Ethics line, which you can find here: https://secure.ethicspoint.eu/domain/media/en/gui/100518/index.html. Your comments will be noted either way: our management is closely monitoring all Glassdoor reviews and is listening. Thank you again for sharing your experience and feedback. We wish you all the best moving forward.

Pros

Good place to grow on the company, in case of being fired watch out how much they pay you, if you sign the paper and did not read properly can be seriously injured.

Cons

Your work depends on how you get along with your managers
