Business Outlook

Pros

Building a CT machine is like building a space ship. Philips has a lot of Phds dealing with a vast rage of areas: physics, material sciences, medicine, electrical engineering, web development, system engineering (software/hardware) and much more. If you come from a background of physics/electrical engineering or CS - you'll get a good salary and a relatedly nice career path (in terms of promotions; Meaning that you don't have to wait 4 years for a promotion).

Cons

If you academic background is Economics/Accounting/industrial Engineering etc., there's almost no development opportunities in here. That's too bad.

Cons

too many layers, reduces speed, gives oppertunity to people to hide from owners ship and responsibility despite all good tools and reviews available , in the end you are a number as an employee unless you are in top 100 people.

Business Outlook

Pros

There is a tremendous drive for innovation in Philips. Future thinking teams benefit from a strong, homogeneous and friendly company wide culture. Global mobility allows people to grow in roles and exposure.

Cons

While innovation remains at core, there are gaps between innovation potential and market reality. Company re invents itself rather frequently in response to market.
