Pros

Compensation, benefits, and work-life balance

Cons

Company-wise, they don't seem to know what they are doing. Even the most basic of tasks will consume days. Don't expect any team-building. The company clearly states its culture, values, and professional development, yet, management does exactly the opposite. Philips is an "innovation" company, yet the management style is command and control. As a result, negativity and deceit are common and your career will suffer. Public reprimands occur frequently - people routinely referred to as "stupid.."

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.
