      Pros

      Good work-life balance with good benifits

      Cons

      The new Philips is completely different from the original company. It does not believe in innovation. After spending a decade in the company i just saw CEO only interested in selling business units every year to show profit and please investors by acquiring exciting businesses and rebranding them Philips (No innovation). Internally the situation is like Nokia as multiple teams are competing and each unit has there own agenda. The same things are done again and again using different technology with no outcome.

      Hi there, we regret hearing you're not completely happy about the way your department has developed in the last years. This feedback is really valuable to us and, since upper management is active on this platform too, won't go unnoticed. We are happy to hear you appreciate the work-life balance and benefits, though. Thanks so much for taking the time to share this and we wish you all the best with your career!

      Pros

      The people in non- upper management roles that work there are fantastic. Great sense of community onsite and the culture champions are consistently looking for ways to make work life better.

      Cons

      Very poor communication on the strategy for the business unit. Leadership publicly promotes innovation and new ideas to be presented but then those ideas are shot down or penalized in private by current upper management. The business unit leadership says that don't want excuses for project delays but will then decide to do 3 major layoffs in the first two quarters with no transition plan, no support for gap in resources and no expectations to delayed progress.
