      Corrupt culture, stay away - Field Service Engineer Philips Employee Review

      Pros

      Salary will be paid on time

      Cons

      In a culture as corrupt as Philips, leaders and managers don't know what they are doing and only care about their career prospects and how to please their bosses in every decision they make. Favoritism is rampant and there is a leadership meltdown or coup every few years. It appears as though no one in the local leadership in Canada cares about direct reports or their customers but they are good at coming up with empty buzzwords. It's a disgusting culture.

      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.
