Pros

Company car, great 401k, decent medical.

Cons

There is such a lack of qualified senior management to make key decisions, high turnover, clueless project managers, and the ones that do the least work are most always promoted.

Hi there, first of all we want to thank you for your feedback. We regret seeing that you won’t recommend Philips as an employer, but your feedback helps us to improve on this. Working in an environment with a high turnover in senior management can be challenging, we fully agree with you that we are working with, and for, real people, so this is something we should work on together. Since we get the feeling you’re currently not fully satisfied in your job, we recommend you to have a conversation with your (HR) manager addressing these issues. We hope we can improve the current situation together with you, and work towards a great future together.

Pros

Nothing good to say about them. I would give them a zero if I could

Cons

Management string you along with promises of promotions or raises. None of the teams knows what any other teams are doing.

Reward for good work is more work! (Philips NA review)

Pros

Generous benefits, 401k, stock options, educational assistance (up to 10k per year, but you have to stay 1 more year after paid out). Good training programs.

Cons

Performance ratings are politically motivated. Same with promotions. Nepotism is rife. Reward for good work done is more work (not necessarily better performance review). Frans Van Houten : If You Love the Company, Break It Up. Expect layoffs, spinoffs, and whatnot.
