      Pros

      strong benefits package, especially 401K match; culture based on innovation--many patents; good opportunity to interact with and get to know colleagues from other countries

      Cons

      wage freeze and lay-offs due to economic downturn (though I believe there was an aggressive expense reduction effort to limit headcount reduction)

      Pros

      Some good products that help save people's lives.

      Cons

      Employees are just numbers and a means for the company to make a buck. There is no transparency in how things are done and you never know where you stand when it comes to your job. One day they can call you into a room and say so long even after many many years of service. They also pit employees against each other instead of encouraging people to work as a team.

      Will the last person laid off please turn out the lights when they leave?

      Pros

      Benefit package is better than mediocre but less than great. Product seems to have a good reputation... wonder how long that will last. If you are in top management you don't have to worry about listening to the employees.

      Cons

      A very top down managed company and getting worse every year. Management is royalty... perhaps related to the parent company "Royal Dutch Philips" Cheap, cheap, cheap: The Dutch ownership squeezes the employee nickel till the buffalo on it shits. Philips is a vehicle for exporting US dollars to The Netherlands. No position of any importance is maintained in the US if it can be moved to The Netherlands. If you ain't Dutch... you ain't much. Seriously question how long market share will survive when customers call for anything at all and get a voice from India. Logistics outsourced to UPS... when was the last time you were delighted with UPS service? Risk aversion is the only game played.
