Pros

nice colleagues, international, English is quite acceptable. Very decent pay.

Cons

Now they want people to return to office. Instead of providing flexibility, they ask people to go to the office 3 days each week. This strict rule is really not working. People should go to the ffice for a reason, for instance, they could go 5 days straight if there are important reasons to go. One size fits all will not work in today's working culture. Since it's a small site, career development in corporate functions is extremely limited. You need to either work in the Netherlands or in the US to have visibility.

Pros

Philips still has good people, meaningful healthcare technology, and a strong brand name. Many employees care deeply about the customers, the products, and doing quality work.

Cons

The company culture has gone downhill. Management has become increasingly reliant on spreadsheet-driven decision making that often has little connection to real field conditions, employee workload, or customer impact. Priorities and goals change constantly, creating a desperate, reactive environment where employees are not given enough time to adjust before leadership shifts direction again. Morale suffers because teams are expected to execute against moving targets while leadership treats unrealistic planning as an execution problem.
