Pros

They are quick to recognize talent and committed to retaining it. You are encouraged to take ownership and drive improvements and change. The senior management is very supportive.

Cons

When one area of the business suffers all BIU's feel the pain. Cuts have happened frequently (staff and budgets) in my limited time here due to issues that prevented the sale of CT units for nearly a year.

Great company to start your career in

Pros

This is a fantastic company to start your career in. Being a multinational corporation, you can learn quite a bit of how a big corporation works as long as you are observant. Another great thing about the company is the work / life balance. Getting out of college it might be a shock for some to work crazy hours. Philips is great in providing it's employees with a fantastic balance.

Cons

One of the major con is that the salary is probably on the average side. You expect a large corporation to have better monetary benefits but it's evened out by the good work / life balance you get by working at Philips. Another con is that being a corporation, things move a little slow here. This might not be the company you want to stay with if you are starting out your career and want to move up the ladder quickly. However, I feel that this is a great company for anyone that's looking to stay for the long term.
