Pros

I like the atmosphere and the ability to approach senior and upper management without any repercussions. PTO & Sick time is great. Best I ever had in a long time!

Cons

One person handling all HR claims for 800+ employees. Male Senior management favors male employees! your hard work is not acknowledged. the ones who slack off and have zero experience get away with not working and being on their phones because they are friends with senior management. This is not the corporate experience I expected. There is no loyalty amongst leadership and team. It's sad when the whole company is waiting on amazon to arrive!

Hi there, thank you for sharing your experiences with your time at Philips here. Great to hear you're happy with the atmosphere and approachability of higher management. Having said that, the way you describe the HR processes within your department is less thrilling. I can imagine it's not great to have the idea male employees are being favored. Therefore, I would like to draw your attention to our Ethics point, an independent third party (https://secure.ethicspoint.eu/domain/media/en/gui/100518/index.html). Please know that management is active on Glassdoor as well, so your feedback won't go unnoted. Thanks again for sharing this and I wish you all the best with your career!

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.
