Pros

Philips cares deeply about patient care, and the impact it's products make on quality of care. Ethics and integrity are high, and compliance to regulations globally are closely adhered too and monitored. Being a large company, growing a long term career is also possible and encouraged, although it is not easy and you must take ownership of you own career development.

Cons

Philips today is a company comprised of many acquisitions, which has created a culture that varies widely depending on the sector you are part of. Avoid imaging systems, heavy handed dictatorial management has created a negative culture. On the other hand, patient monitoring (PCCI) and HHS are very different, more collaborative, values employees and what they do.

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.
