Pros

If you are from an ethnic minority, there are no benefits—only disadvantages!

Cons

Racism is very much alive! Philips is an institutionally racist organisation. If you are from an ethnic minority, I would not recommend working there. You will likely receive lower pay than your counterparts, and promotions will be out of reach. This systemic racism is deeply embedded within the company and spreads across the organisation globally.

Pros

Company culture is friendly and helpful!

Cons

The manager didnt want me to interact with anybody in the team. I was supposed to report direct to the manager! She didnt have any projects planned for me and everyday was like a sword on my neck! There was nothing aligned and it was hard to figure out what had to be done!
