Pros

They issue you a corporate credit card which makes buying tools and traveling much easier. InfoView is the CMMS and it is the best one I have ever worked with as a biomed. Philips will make sure you have the tools and test equipment and training you need and will pay for all of it. Philips promotes a higher standard and mostly recommends OEM PM's. By far the best in industry on call pay: 25% of your hourly salary per hour of on call and a minimum of 4 hours of call back (usually overtime pay). Double time pay on Sundays and holidays if you have to work.

Cons

Just my opinion only and my opinion is not facts. The biomed shops are lead by leaders which are supposed to be working supervisors and are suppose to help with the repairs and PM's and they either do not show up to work or if they do they do next to nothing and they know Philips will not track their productivity nor will they get in trouble as long as the PM completion numbers are met and no customer complaints. This however puts a lot of strain on the biomeds because Philips calculates 1,500 pieces of equipment to justify one FTE in the shop. 1,500 is too high to begin with and then you have to pick up the slack of the shop leader. Also, Philips has very bad leadership within middle management. A lot of unethical behavior and whistle blowers are either not believed and discredited or simply fired after being written up for trumped-up charges.
