Pros

Philips Medical has a competent technical staff that is at theforefront of some interesting technology. For that reason I would say that Philips Medical is an engineering driven company with technology that is superior to its main rivals, Siemens and GE.

Cons

Since it is an engineering driven company, customer needs are sometime forgotten. Also Philips Medical has the lowest marketing to engineering ratio and as such they do not do a good job of developing products based on customer needs rather that the coolest technology. They also don't do a good job marketing their products.

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.
