      Poor leadership - Anonymous employee Philips Employee Review

      Pros

      Some great people who are passionate about what they do. Many long tenured employees - especially in field service.

      Cons

      Quality issues are rampant across many product lines. Repeated product holds and shutdowns not to mention huge issues in-field with implementation and support. No commitment to succession planning - they pay lip service to this, but there is no integrity from upper management. North American leadership is a joke.

      Pros

      The people in non- upper management roles that work there are fantastic. Great sense of community onsite and the culture champions are consistently looking for ways to make work life better.

      Cons

      Very poor communication on the strategy for the business unit. Leadership publicly promotes innovation and new ideas to be presented but then those ideas are shot down or penalized in private by current upper management. The business unit leadership says that don't want excuses for project delays but will then decide to do 3 major layoffs in the first two quarters with no transition plan, no support for gap in resources and no expectations to delayed progress.
