Pluspunten

Philips is global company, so your mileage will vary, but in my experience: - 401k plan is better than most. - Work/Life balance is great. - Global and dynamic business model - complex/challenging projects - Philips products do improve people’s lives. - Philips brand looks good on a resume. - Company seems to be on an upward trajectory

Minpunten

Typical big company issues: - Lousy Non-existent culture - The never ending RIFs and restructurings have left the organization resource constrained, dumber, confused, and demoralized. - ‘If you ain’t Dutch you ain’t much” is a real thing. Not a great company if you’re an American. -Upper Management can be a bit penny wise and pound foolish.

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.
