Pros

Good health and overall benefits

Cons

Unless you live in India, Poland, or Panama, you have ZERO job security with Philips. It is widely known and spoken about by Leadership - exact words "The company is not performing as well as it should and therefore cost control is vital if Philips wants to continue to deliver solutions to our customers at "affordable prices". While we are optimizing our costs on multiple levels, one of the actions is optimizing our location footprint to reduce our labor costs by moving resources to "Low Cost Countries" (USA is not one of them...).

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.
