Pros

- Talented, hard-working peers who care about their work - Opportunities to learn - Brand reputation can open doors

Cons

- The leadership culture is toxic and deeply rooted - Bullying and gaslighting is tolerated - Feedback is dismissed or used against you, and psychological safety is nonexistent! - High turnover, poor morale, and burnout are normalized - HR is complicit. Concerns are swept under the rug

Thank you for telling about the time you have worked for our company. We are very sorry to hear that your experience, with the management in particular, has not been positive by far and that you have observed bullying, gaslighting and other concerning behavior. It is also worrying to hear that you did not feel heard / supported by the Human Resources team. Needless to say that the culture you describe definitely is not consistent with our commitment to creating a healthy workplace where all our employees feel comfortable and are treated fairly and respectfully. We would like to encourage you to share more details about your time with us via our Ethics line, which is also available to people that are no longer working with us, so this can be thoroughly investigated: https://secure.ethicspoint.eu/domain/media/en/gui/100518/index.html. Please know that your experience is not typical and we take serious note. Thank you once again for this review. We wish you all the best moving forward.

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.
