Pros

Good benefits, good pay. Established organization that is diversified in Healthcare, Consumer Electronics, and Lighting.

Cons

Company is run by financial executives that have to cut employees regularly due to not meeting company financial goals. Employees always feel like they could be let go every year.

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.
