Pros

It is always a plus working at a company that creates products that save lives and improve the quality of life for others. Philips takes good care of its employees, with many opportunities for conferences, field visits, and other non-work educational experiences. The work is challenging and requires a high level of adaptability, which keeps everyone sharp.

Cons

The employee review system can be intimidating. A piece of advice I have received from seasoned employees: (to paraphrase) They won't make a software engineer a manager. Especially not a good one.

Pros

Philips overall has strong brand recognition and their products are considered on par with their competition. Most of the employees at the lower levels are pretty good.

Cons

There are definite clicks and if you are not part of one then you are not going to get anywhere in this company. Many managers have been there their entire career and have not seen anything other than HP/Agilent/Philips and they have no idea how broken they are and how much better they could be. Their quality system is incredibly bloated. Their IT systems are a mess. They also suffer from way too many “councils” and “committees”. Also everyone is encouraged to roll up their sleeves to do anything and everything to the point where there is so much overlap in responsibility that no one can approve anything or get anything done by themselves. Everyone goes to every meeting. No one delegates.
