Pros

My first couple of years were great at Philips. Great products, work life balance was awesome. Then came a new CMO.

Cons

New CMO was let go of B2B of a big shampoo company that she loves boosting about working at. When you ask the industry - they say she killed the business. She reorged the marketing department and they are now losing 2-3 people a week. Every person who had talent and history realized they were cut off and being forced out by the new CMO and left. The culture is awful - everyone talks behind each others backs, it is a woman's club (teams may have 10 women and 2 men on a business that sells men's razors!!), and all fun employee appreciation events were canceled. All career paths were cut and succession plans were let go.

Pros

The people in non- upper management roles that work there are fantastic. Great sense of community onsite and the culture champions are consistently looking for ways to make work life better.

Cons

Very poor communication on the strategy for the business unit. Leadership publicly promotes innovation and new ideas to be presented but then those ideas are shot down or penalized in private by current upper management. The business unit leadership says that don't want excuses for project delays but will then decide to do 3 major layoffs in the first two quarters with no transition plan, no support for gap in resources and no expectations to delayed progress.
