Pros

Ok pay, but nothing to brag about

Cons

Your manager really makes or breaks you. If you have a manager that is only looking out for himself and how he looks in front of others, you’re gonna have a rough time. If your 1:1s only consist of status report, you need to plan for yourself. If he gives you lots of praise during the year, then come performance review time, he apologizes a lot for giving you just an adequate score instead of stellar performance, you’re also gonna have a bad time. My advice is choose another place to work for unless you have nothing to pay the bills. I didn’t meet that many people there that inspired me. Every survey they send out can be traced back to you.

Thank you for your review. It's clear that your Philips experience has not been positive. We regret to hear how you felt regarding the contact with your manager during your time at Philips. If you've experienced behaviour that you believe wasn't consistent with our General Business Principles or our Behaviors, then we hope that we can encourage you to share your story via our Ethics line, so an investigation can be opened: https://secure.ethicspoint.eu/domain/media/en/gui/100518/index.html.

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.

Philips Response
