Pros

There are no pros to working here

Cons

Takes FOREVER for anything to get done (if it ever does). No accountability. Lack of appreciation. Diversity for the sake of diversity. Toxic managers. Passive employees. Terrible culture. Outsourcing everything including engineering. Terrible products. Terrible and outdated software. Pay is okay, but the yearly raises are nearly non-existent. Bonuses for upper management is so big that the people that actually do the work get next to nothing. Computershare stock options are a joke. Can't get any personal information updated in the systems. The list goes on and on. It was the most depressing time period of my life while working here. Run, don't walk, away from this company.

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.

Philips Response
