Pros

The benefits are amazing with good PTO, Sick, and 401k match. My group had great work/life balance and I had a very supportive manager.

Cons

Philips seems to only really care about what is “trendy” as they struggle to get more women in leadership roles, but then don’t provide benefits, such as maternity leave, to actually attract and retain female talent. Global makes decisions for the region that don’t really make sense. The move to Nashville wasn’t really cost saving and going to Cambridge will lose a lot of top talent. Again, trying to attract women into leadership roles, but then require them to commute up to 2 hours when they could have kids in school isn’t going to make you an attractive employer.

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.
