Pros

Philips products do positively effect people's lives. Benefits are slightly above average.

Cons

Multi cultural organization due to acquisitions; not well integrated. Too political. If you are not part of the 'in crowd' your input is never considered. Opposing views or ideas are frowned upon and attacked. Collaboration is non-existent between organizations and departments. Very territorial. Suffers from 'not invented here'. Development cycles too excessive and bloated. Rarely listens to customers or employees. Reorganizes too frequently. Constant change never allows new innovations/direction to take root. Set a goal(s) and stick to it.

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.
