Pros

Smart colleagues, international environment. Salary is quite OK, compared to other electronic companies in the Netherlands. Depending on where your office is located: work place innovation.

Cons

Big reorganization now, with people applying for their own jobs. The work itself really differs, depending on where you're located. Especially in the Netherlands.

It's clear that the company does not invest in training their frontline managers on how to manage or develope employees.

Pros

It is a big company with great benefits. Depending on your direct supervisor, and the division that you work for, it can be a great job.

Cons

The company is so focused on meeting quarterly objectives for Wall street that they make bad decisions to accomodate short term results that cause long term problems. Many divisions have bee downsized so much that they are unable to produce great products, great marketing and high sales because the employees who are left are so swamped with work. Applications personnel are overworked and ineffective. Sales people are treated like second class citizens. Front line managers here are simply number collectors. They have no time to develope their people and even if they did, the employees are shifted between managers so much, they barely know the people who work for them. HR requires a "PPM" review each year of each employee, which is a good start, but it's not really effective because the managers are usually out of touch with the employees they manage.
