Pros

Good compensation Good work life balance. Flexibility to work from home

Cons

Good people are let go because numbers don't add up. De-motivating and highly uncertain environment Few people are capable enough to get the full picture of a complex project. And their opinion is lost in the endless discussions on unimportant topics

Hello, although we enjoy hearing that you found a good work-life balance and have good compensation, we do regret hearing that you feel like you work in a de-motivating and uncertain environment. We would like to advise you to speak to your HR representative about this. Thank you for taking the time to review our company and for the you have been doing for us.

Hi there colleague, We are glad that you are positive about your current employer! It sounds good that the work-life balance works out for you this well. We feel that employees should have some sort of freedom and flexibility to balance their work and life responsibilities independently. Of course this comes with a sense of personal empowerment. Regarding the payscale you’re mentioning: all Philips employees are part of an annual review program to assess performance and development. And we feel that all the performance-related benefits should increase in line with your value and results. :) Thanks for being with us for over a year. We hope we will be a perfect match for many more years to come!
