Briefly describe your overall experience at your company
What do you like best about the leadership team?
I'm feel that I'm fully empowered
Our leadership team is best in quality
My direct manager is awesome and very energetic.
I like the Business Im in. I believe it's one that truly can help bring positive impact to everyone (not just those who can afford it)
They do not treat me as an intern
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Consider that the people who work for them might actually have lives outside of work.
Everything. They are lazy and incompitent
Put people over profits. This concept is foreign, except in P.R. and advertising
Strategy to grow business. Coherent action.
Once again, the customers have one service expectation, and this company delivers something completely different

What is the best part about your compensation package?
group insurance rate and 401k match
I don't want to discuss about that
Company stock as a retention bonus, however valuation is so poor that it regularly is cut to 1/3 the original value when vested. We are forced to leave a lot of potential on the table if we leave, but if we do not then we harm our own value in the long term.
It is more than competitive
Insurance and vision coverage and fsa
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Respect and appreciation would go a long way
Cost of Living Increases, at least matching the rate of inflation; making more than (barely) 40k / yr so I can afford to live
That yearly reviews are open. You want more performance but not equivalent pay increase

I've consistently (3 years) rated well in my PPM but been told there is no room (ie. a position at the next grade) available for me. My last bonus was an insult and just rubbed in the fact the glass ceiling hasn't moved. I wonder how these surveys are used, or even if they're read by a real person
What are some of the best things about your team?
Our fulltime employees are trained on mamy benches, and help each other. It appears we are mostly hiring temporary employees. A few have been made permanent, but not many.
Review from Operations Dept
The people - open and honest
remote, flexibility, ability to work independently
Their honesty, quality of their work, and attention to compliance.
Review from Operations Dept
A few team members do honestly care, but the rest are beat into submission.
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Understanding diversity as an interesting detail, not a communication obstacle
Better screening and training for all
We need more people please
Review from Operations Dept
Philips review structure is designed so you are competing against your coworkers for raises. As such, coworkers do not help one another at all. The company sows a toxic work culture as well.
Too much shumuzing by certain people, other's too much back stabbing, the management is tyrannical and supportive of fear management of labratory technicians. Also some break the rules daily under his protection. No fair overall treatment of staff.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
The employees, and their freindships established
Review from Operations Dept
The quality of the people
Additional activities like sports initiatives, training and development
The only way to know
Im not sure I feel a 'culture'. The last time HR presented at Town Hall on 'culture' it was more a conversation around 'meeting effectiveness'.....not what I believe people were hoping for
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
They need to hire more skilled individuals with a customer focus
Review from Customer Support Dept
Van Houten and his executive team
Every one needs to follow the rules.
Review from Operations Dept
It needs to go the way of the dinosaurs.
At our annual meeting we were reminded that they have plenty of resumes on file and that we were lucky to have jobs.
What did you like most about the interview process?
It was previous managers that have now retired. They were great.
Review from Operations Dept
invited me back for 4 interviews (which was nerve racking)
Not a prolonged interview process. Met with a few executives and we talked about relevant topics and results.
The ease. My Hiring Manager made me feel super comfortable in the interview.
Review from Operations Dept
It was good interview session
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
I was blatantly lied to about my position and started getting hamstrung in my responsibility
Give every person ONE piece of feedback that will help them improve. Quit with the "we don't have time to reply to everyone" because each of those people have raised their hands and said "Im interested" (they've also taken time to process all the details the portal mandates.
It was very slow for me. Took months.
The interview is too easy because they're desperate for employees. Philips has an insane turnover rate.
The interview process needs to be fairly placed for everyone, not just the established salaried ranks. Philips hires almost exclusively from out, and hourly staff have to advance many titles to reach Engineer level.
What makes you most happy at work?
The non work related projects
Helping patients on a daily basis
my job and working from home
knowing each day I make a difference in a person's life. what I do matters to the company and individuals.
Teamwork. Flexibility to deliver in the best way for customers.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Supply chain is unpredictable. Product quality needs stability.
Customer expectations are never met and prices for equipment are very high when compared to other manufacturers
Review from Customer Support Dept
The company has turned its back on knowledge and knowhow in favour of dimwitted narcissists trying to support a bug ridden software system. There really is very little that can be done. If the CPAP lawsuit in the states is successfull then its all over.
Sell the company to an organization that values and respects employees and customers alike
politics dictate engineering, which will cause collapse in the long run
Review from Engineering Dept
What do you like best about your company?
work life balance is very good
Review from Operations Dept
What would you most like to see improved at your company?
less procedures and revision to procedures
