Pros

Good products that make a positive impact on people lives and health.

Cons

Not a very progressive company. Many processes are old and out-dated. Lots of ambiguity and slow responses make it frustrating to get work done. Slow decision making on the exec level. Many changes and re-orgs make it hard to get direction from leadership.

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.
