Pros

Pay isn't great but corporate benefits are generous - pension, maternity, retirement programmes etc

Cons

Like many large organisations its very multifaceted so processes can be painstakingly slow with far too many points of contact. There is a lot of talk about LEAN but in reality change is implemented often but with very little impact. Innovation is a buzz word not a corporate value. Senior management lacks diversity and career paths are limited. NO budget for socials so lacked engagement

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.
