Pros

401k match. Also for those of you who are totally incompetent you can keep your job for at least a year before they can get around to firing you during the next wave of outsourcing.

Cons

Extremely top heavy organization with no vision and constant organizational changes, which create massive amounts of work and frustration. No growth or internal promotion, just consistent cost cutting and outsourcing. Near 100% certainty that your role will be outsourced eventually if you are in the procurement or accounting/finance groups. Company has been brutally mismanaged for years and will be facing the music for the coming years. If you like answering idiotic emails all day and cleaning up never ending messes this is the place for you!

Pros

Compensation, benefits, and work-life balance

Cons

Company-wise, they don't seem to know what they are doing. Even the most basic of tasks will consume days. Don't expect any team-building. The company clearly states its culture, values, and professional development, yet, management does exactly the opposite. Philips is an "innovation" company, yet the management style is command and control. As a result, negativity and deceit are common and your career will suffer. Public reprimands occur frequently - people routinely referred to as "stupid.."
