Thank you for the feedback. It is unfortunate to hear that you were not positive about certain aspects whilst you worked with us. We are a very fast changing global company, active in a fast-paced market, flexibility therefore is very important to us. We understand that certain transformations within the company influence other parts as well. We do hope to create a flexible working environment by offering a lot of training through our Philips University. We would like to wish you the best with your future endeavors.

Pros

The company has a wide breadth of products and services that leverages technology. It's a global company that brings some value to the market. People are mostly pleasant although passive.

Cons

They tried to educate marketing on basic planning and business principles but that didn't work. Problematic leadership on the group level, e.g. Healthcare. There is an ironic lack of business acumen skill predominantly in the higher ranks (director to C-level) but often excellent business acumen on the lower ranks (manager or lower). A lot of internal business conflicts and redundancies prevail, leading to high cost of operations.

We hope that you have touched upon your criticism with the team that you were active in during your time with us. Some of your advice does ring with us, as we do intend to compensate the hard work our employees do in the right way. We believe that is something that enables us to bring value in the market, as we like to motivate our employees to be part of the innovation and our philosophy of the company. This does help a lot with our mission to bring innovation that matters. In any case, we would like to thank you for your hard work with us and creating a nice working environment.

Pros

Air conditioned warehouse, that's all they got to offer thee employees. There not many words to mention on the pros..

Cons

Underpaid, unfair treatment of employees, favoritism, unprofessional management to say the least. It's not what you know in this company but who you know.

Thanks for being with us for more than 8 years already. We appreciate you coming here and share your opinion. We are sad to read the cons you are mentioning. We take these very seriously. It’s a pity to hear that you feel mistreated. Our remuneration packages match those of other global industry leaders, while performance-related benefits increase in line with value and results. We do stimulate our people to speak with their manager or even the Philips Ethics Line if they think something is not (ethical) right. Because all Philips employees should be part of an annual review program to assess performance and development, recognize and reward achievement, and should be rewarded and treated accordingly. And we do agree that employees are vital for our company. You and all your colleagues have helped us to build, which we are very thankful for.
