Pros

First of, most of the employees there are "temp" employees. As far as benefits that Philips offers I wouldn't know. The only thing that I like are the hours, They are from 7-3:30pm. no weekends. The Cafe area is pretty decent.

Cons

Everything besides what I said above. Being there only a short period of time I've come to the conclusion there is no moving up in this company. Half of their employees are temps and a lot of them have been that way for 5+ years. A multi-million dollar company and they cant hire? Very cheap to me. Also there is a very big latin population in the manufacturing side and I feel we are looked down upon. We are not talked to like human beings more like annoying children specifically in the gluing/testing area, there has been complaints about her but none acted upon. She has made woman cry thats how rude she is . The manager does not seem to care about her employees or their moral, nor does this entire company. Every time I go to lunch all I hear is how much people hate it there. I can now see why. Such a shame...

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.
