Pros

Great work-Life balance Employee oriented Good compensation level

Cons

Not a generic statement about Philips but in the area I am talking about, executive level management and leadership was very poor. Takes forever to make decisions, decision once made are often changed, some executives think about their next position from the minute they started the current one and behave that way so only short term strategy (or actually tactic)

Hello, we're glad to hear that you found a great work/life balance whilst working for Philips as a Program Manager, we understand that our people have a life outside work too! That your experience with the management was not so positive, is of course regrettable. Our management is also monitoring all Glassdoor reviews and is listening, and your feedback will help us enable a successful future for our people. We wish you all the best for the future.

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.
