Pros

Pay is above average, lots of good people

Cons

Company culture lacks accountability and leadership lacks vision. There are a lot of Reduction in Force happening across the company eliminating the positions of long-term employees who are walking out the door with all the tribal knowledge. The return to office policy has no value, so I think Philips is using it to get people to quit and/or to fire them.

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.
