Pros

Great PTO policy, sick time, fun events, the best 401k matching

Cons

Most departments here are amazing. The Parts Order Desk is just poorly managed. There's no future planning (such as shift coverage, company events/meetings), poor communication or lack of communication, inability to stick with a plan, and unprofessional catty behavior. It's wildly inefficient with process issues taking months to address if they're addressed at all.

Hi there, thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts and experiences here. Good to hear you're generally pleased with our company. But it's regrettable to learn that you're not quite happy in your team and with the management. We do recommend discussing your concerns and feedback with your HR person, as he or she has the resources to improve your experience. As higher management is active on this platform too, consider your feedback duly noted. We hope you'll be able to improve things, all the best in your career.

Pros

If you land on the right team at Philips, every day can be an absolute joy. They take decent care of their employees (although it DOESN'T compare to the rest of Silicon Valley's tech sector). The company is stable, so you don't have to worry about it disappearing altogether.

Cons

If you land on the WRONG team, your life becomes a struggle to justify your existence. Massive layoffs happen every year at Thanksgiving. Benefits declined a little every year I was there.

Hi there, Thanks for telling us something about how you experienced your time working for Philips. We can definitely imagine it's a pity to see valued colleagues leave every year. We regret to hear that there is such a massive difference between multiple departments. Altogether we hope that you can look back positively on your time working for our company. Wishing you all the best!

Hi there, This doesn't sound all too good! Our employees are very important to us, so we feel bad that you feel this way. We don't want anyone to over-do it. Did you speak to an HR-colleague about this already? We realize that you are not a machine, but a human being like all of us. Thanks for sharing your review and we wish you a good day.
