Philips reviews

Promotions are based on prefrential bases, you must know a lot of people if you are looking for career advancement. Conflict and contradictions in management makes it extreamly difficult to satisfy cross-functional team and yet performing with excellence. Only upper management is higher from outside and others are promoted within each division only.

Promotions and job advancement is limited to those pleasing the right people; Constant changes in management and strategy that never seem to deliver desired results; Location of office in Sao Paulo ; New office (without fixed desk) does not have enough space for everyone, so there are days that you get there and there is no where for you to sit; A lot of dead (and expensive) wood that does not get the right treatment, which takes motivation from those working hard; Dutch incompetent employees are "untouchable", even though their work needs to be redone by others; HR is not trusted by employees and does not care about it. Health plan keeps getting worse and worse to save costs. Feeling that the boat is sinking and no one at the helm to stir it to the right direction and save the ship;
