      Pros

      Nice friendly colleagues ready to jelp out to get projects going. Also flexible. Nothing else good to add.

      Cons

      I've never come across such a poor employer as Philips. This company is going downhill fast. Also lacks compassion. Unprofessional and irresponsible HR who shys away from intimidating and challenging situations. Does not care whatsoever to listen to employees. Same goes for the management team in Amsterdam. Poor leadership management and lack of direction. Management makes no effort to back up employees instead a pushover. Also makes no effort to support employees. Cumbersome processes. Reactive company and very slow to react to market. Care more about what is done and not appreciative of how it's done. Alot of destructing going on and jobs may be taken away in advance without proposing a good package, unappreciative of enployees' year of contribution.

      Pros

      Good colleagues (but a lot have left recently) Decent product range Still have a good reputation but not sure for how long

      Cons

      Meaningless conflicting KPIs ... Change for changes sake... Rebranded every couple of years with a new glossary of TLAs to learn ... confusing for customers as well as employees Too high a focus on revenue not the customer. The annual message from senior management is not the message delivered to grass roots by lower level management. Minuscule nitpicking over expenses.

      Thank you for providing us with a review and for being part of our team for that long. It’s unfortunate to hear about how you’ve experienced the work/life balance. We do move in a dynamic fast paced market. And being part of that could of course be challenging. We always hope to make sure that our hard working employees do get enough spare time besides the good work that they do with us. That’s definitely valued feedback. It’s good to hear that you did enjoy the salary and the benefits whilst working for us. That should always be a part of the earlier mentioned dynamic and fast paced market. Thank you once more for your work with us for over a decade. We do wish you all the best with your future endeavors.
