Pros

They gave a toothbrush when they bought our company out. That’s it from a company aspect You’re so busy being drug through the mud, your coworkers become family since we’re all suffering together.

Cons

Philips bought our company a few years ago to help pull them out of their financial issues from their own product. We were promised raises, bonuses, etc. haven’t seen a single bonus, just did our yearly merit increase and our department couldn’t even get close to a 3% raise, they’re trying to add the Philips processes (which make no sense and is doubling our workload), last week we had a work from home incentive added based on the amount of overtime you work and this week they took 3/5ths of the overtime possibilities away from us, the best people in our department keep quitting and so far no one has been replaced so people are getting extra work for no extra pay now also. Work life balance is great since there is no overtime opportunities anymore, but just means you have to get a second job. I will say they try with culture and diversity.

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.
