Pros

You are given the chance to take control of your career and succeed or fail on your own merits. Flexible work schedule. Work from home office.

Cons

The tough economy has greatly reduced available funding for meetings and travel. There is an extreme amount of pressure to limit unnecessary expenses.

Standard corporate environment and atmosphere - keep your expectations low

Pros

Philips has an excellent benefits package, certainly better than a comparably sized global company that I worked with previously. Overall, I think Philips makes good products and is an average place to work, in terms of advancement, recognition and career aspirations. I'm so frustrated working here that I'm struggling to find many "Pros".

Cons

I have never worked for a more dysfunctional organization in my career. Senior management routinely make poor strategic decisions and leave the rank and file to try and make the most of it. The "high potential" program cuts both ways - if you aren't a designated HYPO, you are going nowhere and those that do get designated, get a lot of responsibility thrown at them with little or no support from management. The basic philosophy is to only invest the bare minimum in the business and hope for the absolute best results.

Pros

Management is open to the thoughts and opinions of its staff, great Health Benefits, Tuition reimbursement, Time-off is not an issue (when fully staffed), and the work is not as monotonous as other admin positions I have held in the past.

Cons

Work loads at times can seem heavy, salary could be better, all-in-all I cannot think of any cons that I have not faced at other jobs.
