Pros

- The buy out by Philips of IIT Reacts saved our jobs - Salary was high

Cons

- They were not creating equal opportunities: like they would hire a junior employee at double your salary just to make sure they had someone to fill the position, then close two other posting because they now lack the budget - I was hired to fill a position of Sofware / Security Architect, but never could act in my position, they never let me the space to perform my duties

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.
