Pros

As any big company, Philips has great things to offer for mid-manager level up, like car, good bonus, pension plan, and a good salary. For those interested, it is not uncommon to have talents doing assignments in Netherlands or even moving there.

Cons

My dissatisfaction is more related to the strategy the company is following than to any internal conditions. Short term is total priority and monthly controlled results keeps the company from making mid-long terms decisions that are needed to have a solid business and to preserve the culture and pleasure of building something (it is only spin-off business).

Pros

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.

Cons

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.
