      Philips: Great legacy, but it is living from the past glory.

      Senior marketing manager

      Pros

      As any big company, Philips has great things to offer for mid-manager level up, like car, good bonus, pension plan, and a good salary. For those interested, it is not uncommon to have talents doing assignments in Netherlands or even moving there.

      Cons

      My dissatisfaction is more related to the strategy the company is following than to any internal conditions. Short term is total priority and monthly controlled results keeps the company from making mid-long terms decisions that are needed to have a solid business and to preserve the culture and pleasure of building something (it is only spin-off business).

      Wants to be many things, doesnt manage to be anything

      Pros

      Nice new office; Very nice people; Ok discount for some lines of products (not electronics); Flexibel workspace and hours;

      Cons

      Promotions and job advancement is limited to those pleasing the right people; Constant changes in management and strategy that never seem to deliver desired results; Location of office in Sao Paulo ; New office (without fixed desk) does not have enough space for everyone, so there are days that you get there and there is no where for you to sit; A lot of dead (and expensive) wood that does not get the right treatment, which takes motivation from those working hard; Dutch incompetent employees are "untouchable", even though their work needs to be redone by others; HR is not trusted by employees and does not care about it. Health plan keeps getting worse and worse to save costs. Feeling that the boat is sinking and no one at the helm to stir it to the right direction and save the ship;

      Great company, lousy managers

      Pros

      Makes great things, extraordinary legacy of innovation. Very ethical and concerned in keeping behaviors on track.

      Cons

      A company that is managed by the financial people. The people-oriented talk is only a speech. If you are a F&A person it is the place to be. Meritocracy is non-existing.
