Pros

Company has the ability to be a great company.

Cons

Too many managers and "Good Ole Boy" clubs going on and Philips likes to practice a LEAN structure yet they go through layoffs annually and let go of good, dedicated employees yet keep all the upper management who are running the company into the ground. Run as fast as you can.

Toxicity Thrives Where Leadership Is Weak

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Ability to unlock tremendous opportunity and move with the organization.

Cons

Immature and/or virtually nonexistent leadership permeates the cultural fabric of many business groups throughout the organization. The landscape is virtually homogeneous and lacks real diversity. Minorities and mature workers will not do well here. The few women in senior management roles secure their positions by undermining top performers and independent thinkers. Individuals failing to fit into the fold are often pushed out of their departments and/or the organization altogether. Those who survive are either “valued” employees or management clones.
