Pros

- Good work life balance - Decent compensations and benefits - Meaningful product - contribution to people health and quality of life

Cons

- Corporate culture - inefficient communications with higher management and little influence over its decisions, which are often contrary to work needs and determined by constraints (mainly regulation) - Currently no promotion prospects - Global IT. Enough said.

We appreciate it that you've said a few words about your experience working for our company as Algorithms Engineer. It's good to hear that our mission is one that you can find yourself in and that you're pretty content with the benefits Philips provides. We of course regret that, so far, your career experience isn't as rewarding as you had hoped and that you'd like to see a different level of efficiency when it comes to communications with upper management. Our management is reading all reviews on Glassdoor and will make sure that your thoughts are noted, as we're always striving for improvement, but we hope that we can encourage you to also share your feedback with your (HR) manager, if you haven't yet. Thank you for supporting us in our mission!

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.
