      Pros

      The people I worked with were the best thing about the job. It's also great to work on medical devices and software that have the ability to positively impact people's lives.

      Cons

      In a 6 month time frame, I had 4 different managers. In the 3 years I spent there, only about 6 months was spent on products that shipped to customers, the other products were killed after significant investment. Many jobs in my business unit shifted to Brazil because that's where the director came from.

      Hi there, thank you for saying a few words about your experience working for our company in Andover as Software Quality Assurance Engineer. We're glad to hear that you were surrounded by great people, but it's a pity that you weren't too happy with the (amount of) changes within your former department at Philips. Your feedback is very welcome and has been noted. We hope that you've already found another position, one that is much to your liking. Wishing you all the best from here on out.

      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.
