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

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 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 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 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'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 would you most like to see improved at your company?
less procedures and revision to procedures
