Pros
At Philips, I have complete freedom to make important business decisions. This great amount of responsibility makes me feel as though I own my own business. It is a very flat organization, so I have a lot of interaction with top level management.
Cons
Not everyone at Philips shares my sense of urgency, and it can be frustrating to try to get things done in the Philips environment. We are very under-resourced, and I have to work far too many hours in order to keep my business going. Philips is a European company, and as a result, it is difficult to convince upper management to devote a reasonable amount of the global resource pool to projects for the US market. European-focused projects clearly take precedence.
