Pros

Good Pay, Decent Vacation Time. Decent Benefits

Cons

To advance, you must be part of the "club". If you don't "Jive" with the management "Team" you will be targeted. required to do the work of 3 people, you will get no-where, no matter how hard you try. You will be falsely reprimanded to keep you in your position, unable to advance or move from your current position for one year. The only acknowledgement you will receive will be during your yearly review and NO ONE gets an "exceeds", no matter what you do. That's the un-written rule. Unless you are part of the club, then you can do whatever you want without repercussion and still advance. No incentives to do better or be better. This company does not care about it's future. This is apparent by the amount of times it has laid off it's workers. Putting it's best people out. There is no one with the knowledge and experience to run the processes correctly anymore. People retire and find other jobs and their positions are absorbed by the remaining few, no new people, Just more work and backlash. I have not see a new employee in 4 years. Don't plan on joining any of the Extra-Curricular activities that Non-Production workers get to enjoy. Your 3 jobs will require constant attention, there will be no time for that.

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.
