If you land on the right team at Philips, every day can be an absolute joy. They take decent care of their employees (although it DOESN'T compare to the rest of Silicon Valley's tech sector). The company is stable, so you don't have to worry about it disappearing altogether.
Cons
If you land on the WRONG team, your life becomes a struggle to justify your existence. Massive layoffs happen every year at Thanksgiving. Benefits declined a little every year I was there.

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.
