Pros

- The buy out by Philips of IIT Reacts saved our jobs - Salary was high

Cons

- They were not creating equal opportunities: like they would hire a junior employee at double your salary just to make sure they had someone to fill the position, then close two other posting because they now lack the budget - I was hired to fill a position of Sofware / Security Architect, but never could act in my position, they never let me the space to perform my duties

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.
