      Fake culture is worse than Fake News! - Senior Director, Business Development Philips Employee Review

      Pros

      Great values on paper. The culture however has dramatically changed over the past years, not always to the better. A good place for entry level newbies who seek short term benefits but do not expect long term loyalty any more.

      Cons

      Good way to success is a rigorous focus on your short term personal benefits and to rely on your personal networks. You cannot trust career promises unless they have been agreed on paper. And even if you do so. make sure you have a lawyer review any agreement.

      Hi there, thank you for taking the time to say a few words about the 10+ years you've been working for our company in Hamburg here on Glassdoor. It’s clear that this Philips experience hasn't been a positive one: we're very sorry to hear that. We hope that we can encourage you to share your story with your HR representative and/or via our Ethics line, to enable the matter to be formally reviewed: https://secure.ethicspoint.eu/domain/media/en/gui/100518/index.html. Either way: our management is also reading all reviews, and your concerns will be noted. We wish you all the best moving forward.

      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.
