low morale, no career growth, culture, or values

Business Outlook

Pros

The 401k is good? Healthcare is mediocre. There's a gym, that you pay for.

Cons

Organization changes every 6 months. Job security is low if you are not in India or NL. Upper management communication on organization changes is very poor and swept under the rug. Non-standard communication of organizational changes between departments. Everyone is clueless. Little to no employee development. No clear career development paths. Morale is rock bottom. This is not a fun or healthy place to work.

Pros

Informal dress code. You can ignore loud ignorant coworkers while wearing headphones. I do not have twenty words for company pros.

Cons

Zero organization. Zero management. Zero HR Support. Harassment allowed. Did I mention Philips is moving 800 positions to nashville TN in the next two years?
