Pros

Good work-life balance with good benifits

Cons

The new Philips is completely different from the original company. It does not believe in innovation. After spending a decade in the company i just saw CEO only interested in selling business units every year to show profit and please investors by acquiring exciting businesses and rebranding them Philips (No innovation). Internally the situation is like Nokia as multiple teams are competing and each unit has there own agenda. The same things are done again and again using different technology with no outcome.
