      Constant Reorganizing

      Senior manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      It is huge and has resources and the people are generally good and culture is usually good.

      Cons

      Leadership has no direction or vision and they are constantly re-organizing and laying of large batches of people. Then find that they needed those people to get the work done. So the work load increases for the survivors. Every two years there is a new set of executives and they take everyone down a new direction and then two years later there is a shirt in a different direction. HR has said they don't help people anymore - they just work on mass layoffs and protecting leadership.

      Hi there, thank you for saying a few words about your experience working as Senior Manager for our company in Bothell so far. Reorganizing is something that we definitely don't think lightly of and we regret that you're often being confronted with this within your department. We highly appreciate it that you've shared your honest feedback here, regarding both the aspects that you're happy with and the aspects that you'd like to see changed, and we'll make sure to duly note your advice to our management. This is of high value to us. We wish you all the best.

      addicted to restructurings

      Director
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Philips is global company, so your mileage will vary, but in my experience: - 401k plan is better than most. - Work/Life balance is great. - Global and dynamic business model - complex/challenging projects - Philips products do improve people’s lives. - Philips brand looks good on a resume. - Company seems to be on an upward trajectory

      Cons

      Typical big company issues: - Lousy Non-existent culture - The never ending RIFs and restructurings have left the organization resource constrained, dumber, confused, and demoralized. - ‘If you ain’t Dutch you ain’t much” is a real thing. Not a great company if you’re an American. -Upper Management can be a bit penny wise and pound foolish.
