So far in 6 and half years my opinion has slowly dropped over time but is in free fall right now. - Field Service Engineer Philips Employee Review

Pros

The goal to help improve the lives of billions of people around the world is great and I believe most of our products are great.

Cons

In 6 and a half years I have been dangled opportunities and raises to bring me more inline with my experience and skills as a senior field engineer. The carrot keeps moving and I get the stick instead. Verbal promises and hints sont lead to anything. The "just wait, changes and opportunities are coming" bit has been a way for management to keep me doing what I am and not changing roles or leaving.

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.
