Philips Employer Reviews

I enjoyed working at Philips, Your Job and Duties were well defined and the Management let you do your job without standing over your back.

On one side an amazing multi-national company with an astonishing product portfolio. On the other side, due to its size it is a bureaucratic and inflexible company.

liked working there get production worked well with others

To date, I've spent almost two years with Philips onsite IT, and for the most part it has been monotonous with a few erratic incidents that occur and catch us off guard. Typically, my day consists of coming to work, running morning reports and checking on users to ensure everything is running smoothly for them. Then, I begin the tedious routine of processing – more... work orders from 4 different companies under the same umbrella and weeding out the duplicates, the issues that have been resolved, and the things that need priority. In our workplace, we have only 2 dedicated technicians, myself included, that service 4 sites; both deskside and through the cloud. As one could imagine, this places quite a strain on top of the necessary workload from the afformentioned companies that are responsible for my subcontracting work. Also, the umbrella that was formed when these companies fought for control of the contract has created an ineffective, soon to be obsolete system of operation that needs to be navigated in order to obtain frivolous amounts of information that should be given alongside the work requests; but that is not the case. The people in the office are nice enough, and I have no problem with the onsite management that are there. My issue lies mostly in the inability given to me by this failing system that causes difficulty in me being able to perform even the most mundane IT tasks. – less

I worked in different departments I could be working in the morning in accounts receivables making calls to different customers and be working in the reception are at noon greeting customers and directing calls to the appropriate department.

Due to the primary office being located in Georgia communication is key. I communicate with the company and or management by telephone, emails and or by fax. My work load is not heavy or overwhelming. My work day consist mostly of driving from home to home. Right away, I learned how to install lifeline units which I trained for over the telephone. My – more... co-workers, I have never met in person but over the phone and through email. I can honestly say, that there is no hardest part of this job because this job is very convenient which is the most enjoyable part of the job. – less

Field service engineer really great people to work with great environment great technology.

It was very relaxed environment. Often felt like a outsider because I was a contractor.

A typical day at work would include meeting different people daily and selling .It included business to business selling, submitting timely reports and analysis of the market based on the surveys and market research.The co-workers in the organizations were very humble and helpful and would direct at the times needed.

As an intern, I might have more energy than the normal colleagues.. guess they are too bored but not so many innovation was generated.

Really enjoyed working at Philips. I've learned a lot about how a big company works in a real word. Trainings, some travels and good place to work from where I still have some friends after leaving the company.

My day to day work as a trainee was to learn from my permanent colleagues. The job was to maintain and service the hospital equipment's that were manufactured by Philips in hospitals that had a contract with Philips. I learned how to troubleshoot, fault find, opening the equipment's and to service. The most nice moments were when we had laughs in the – more... office before going out to work, the whole environment was peaceful and enjoyable even thou there sometimes where there is frustrations when the challenge is taking to long to be solved because when the medical equipment is down there is a lot at stake. I learned how to interact with people in a professional manner and how to conduct myself in stressful moments. – less

I worked for Philips Corporate for 37 years and must say it was a very professional organization to be a part of. Worked for the Chairman, CEO and President for many years and then as Manager of Corporation Purchasing, Fleet Management and Employee Sales.

Had the opportunity to meet Executives from all over the world. The Chr, CEO and Pres was the – more... type of person who taught me a great deal about the corporate world and involved me in so many interesting aspects.

Negotiated national contracts.

Extremely busy on a daily basis, always on call, excellent management team, professional co-workers.

Hardest part of the job was the number of hours - didn't really
have a chance for a personal life. The most enjoyable was meeting so many people from different parts of the world and representing Philips at the UN We Believe luncheons meeting Ambassadors from all over the world. – less

- On a typical day at work I greet most of my co-workers and management before the start of my shift. Once in work mode I don't stop unless it's time for break, if I have to use the rest room & course when its time to go home.
- I learned to empathize & sympathize with various people.
- Management were really easy to talk to and tried to assist at the – more... best of their ability.
- My co-workers are extremely friendly.
- The hardest part of my job is learning that a subscriber passed away.
- The most enjoyable part of my job is that we're like a family and celebrate pretty much all holidays, so it never really bothered if I missed a holiday away from home. – less

I miss Philips. Wish I were still there. The AED division is the leader in Automated External Defibrillators. Next door is ultrasound,
