Pros

Very ethical company that allows successful people to continue in their roles

Cons

They do not promote a culture of growth. Many times when a new (higher level) position is created they have already selected their candidate and there is a feeling that they will not support career advancement

Pros

Good work content - Depends a lot on the group you join and your boss though. I had both good and bad experiences in the last 7 years.

Cons

Location - It is in the heart of the traffic jam! Office politics - Especially by old-timers with no skills/knowledge! Experience within in Philips decides who is right/wrong and not what is really right/wrong People managers - especially old timers - only care about headcount. If they get their way (and most of the time they do) they would get 9 men to produce a baby in 1 month only to realize that it is not a real baby and then they blame the 9 men for it!
