Anyone work at Philips healthcare before? What's the comp like? Work environment? Is it worth interviewing or stay away? Keep getting asked to interview for SDE Any info appreciated, thanks. TC - 110k
Steer clear unless you are good at politics and going behind your manager to his superiors to get things done. Nothing moves in Philips. Everything is so hierarchical and process-oriented. I worked in Philips Healthcare for a couple of months and was horrified at how absurd the estimates are. Decided to quit when my attempts to speed up things and improve Engineering practices was perceived as disruptive by a few senior folks who have around for 2 decades.
Extremely toxic work environment- avoid!!!
Care to elaborate a bit?
I used to work in Philips ultrasound business. We were acquired and I survived the merger plus 5 additional year post merger. There is a saying among the workers: “If you aint Dutch, your not much”. If you are not willing to become corporate slave and move where they want you to move then you wont have much of a career. Unless you are at one of the major HQ, be prepared for site shutdown.
Stay away! It’s a dinasaur of a company on deep financial and regulatory trouble . Read and watch the news . The executives are clueless .. they hire people but then do not want to adopt any change that the new ideas bring … impossible to maneuver the “Philips culture” as literally nothing gets done … if it was FAANG the comp wud make sense to put up with this bullshit .. no upside whatsoever
