Pluspunten

Worked in R&D for many years. Great products and brilliant engineers to work with. The day to day work is great as you never know what you will be working on. Cross-functional teams are very helpful and will bend over backwards if you get to know them. PTO and Prior Volcano Management was great.

Minpunten

Morale is down on all levels and departments no matter how hard management has tried. There are a tons of projects to work on but not enough resources so everyone is stretched very thin causing people to leave and be stressed out. Management made many bad choices from 2015-2017 and everyone in R&D is paying for this now. Tribal knowledge has now been retiring and no incentive to keep engineers in Rancho. Many good engineers have left who know the process, the product, and the design very well. Pay is terrible compared to other companies in the area. Philips management was brought in with the merge and it has not been good. most are just destroying the team and thinning out to move jobs to Netherlands. Philips is a great company but there is no expectation for them staying in Rancho Cordova which makes everyone worried.

Pluspunten

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.

Minpunten

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.
