Philips is a nice company, but the corporate red tape and inconsistent practices make it so nothing gets done.

Pros

401(k) - 150% match of your first 4% PTO - Lots or vacation days, paid holidays, and sick time. Benefits - extremely well priced benefits New open office space in Nashville Great pay/bonus structure

Cons

Being a global company, corporate red tape blocks anything and everything you need to accomplish. Management is not willing to leverage the ideas of employees Many departments have zero work. It may sound nice, but sitting in an office looking at a static computer screen for 8 hours with nothing to do gets very frustrating. Philips is supposedly a “lean” company, however, all processes are anything but lean. It is near impossible to get anything accomplished in a reasonable amount of time. Recently relocating to Nashville, the business still has an extraordinary amount of things that need to be fixed, frustration lies around every corner. Sexual harassment gets a slap on the wrist, on many occasions.
