Pros

Very laid back work atmosphere. 35-40 hour work weeks for most employees. Great People. Small enough that you aren't lost in the ocean but big enough that you can make a good group of friends. Relatively safe industry. Orders are pretty consistent Y-O-Y.

Cons

Salaries are ~$50K below high-tech sector and benefits are few and far between. A lot of technical debt and legacy code. You will spend A LOT of time looking at 20 year old code. Nothing particularly groundbreaking going on from a high-tech perspective. If you're motivated by new software technologies you will find few at Philips. Philips values their optimizers (people who work with Ultrasound as a science and they are usually PhDs). They are core to the company while others are not held in as high regard. Those outside the core group will likely feel very disconnected from customers as well as the ultrasound product. In 5 years, I saw maybe 3 live scanning sessions and never once visited a customer site/talked with a customer. Ultrasound is a class II regulated medical device. As a result there is a lot of paperwork and regulation to follow throughout development. This will feel like a snail's pace for anyone coming from high-tech. Not a great place to grow your career unless you want to work in health-tech.
