Pros

knowing that a difference is being made, feeling proud of the accomplishment done on a daily basis.

Cons

Leadership is horrible, way to many politics, no work life balance. No future within the company, opportunities are given to those that are not even qualified for the positions. Higher leadership does not acknowledge you.

Hi there, thanks for sharing your thoughts here. Our biggest aim is to improve people's lives by doing the work we do every day, indeed, and we're glad that you're a part of this mission. However, it's unfortunate to hear you don't feel like you have a future within the company and that, in your opinion, it's hard to have a healthy work-life balance at Philips. Giving our people the opportunity to drive their own career at the company and showing them that we understand they have a life outside work too are two of our main objectives when it comes to employees. That's why we'd like for you to know that your feedback won't go unnoticed: our management teams are active on this platform as well. Once again, thanks for the review, and we wish you a pleasant day!

Weak 'top' (will hesitate to call it top) management

Business Outlook

Pros

Great brand, great products, high on pricing but customers love their products. Good frontline/sales staff

Cons

Politics, run by dinosaurs who havent done anything else but worked for Philips for close to 25 years. There are a number of them. Overall strategy is joined up and reactive and usually a few years behind the market

Pros

The products save and improve lives.

Cons

Recent moves toward a very controlled workplace: All work moving to Agile teams with mandatory morning stand-ups, little to no personal work space, and no telecommuting.
