Pros

Excellent Benefits. Empathetic Management. Flexible Hours.

Cons

REALLY early hours if you are based on the West Coast. Expectation that you will start your day at 4AM regularly. Really white, male organization. We just had IWD and there was a focus on how many women in senior leadership but I'm not seeing that. I am a L80 and I am regularly the only woman in meetings and the rest are all white men. The diversity clearly isn't in my department.

Hi there, thank you for taking the time to review your employer. Your feedback is very welcome. We're glad to hear that you're keen on working for Philips in Alpharetta and that you're happy with the provided benefits and flexible hours. At Philips we believe that the best place to work is an inclusive and diverse one and we regret that you don't see the diversity you expected to see in your department. When it comes to the working hours: we understand that having to start very early is not always too ideal (or possible). We'll make sure to forward your feedback and advice to our management, but please feel free to share your thoughts with your HR representative as well (if you haven't yet). Thank you again for leaving your review here on Glassdoor and thank you for being on board!

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.
