Great place to work

Pros

Lots of freedom for personal development. Exco has clear and transparant strategic vision, so the future of the company is really looking great!

Cons

Sometimes decision-making processes are too slow. However, big global transformation program needs to reduce this and leads to speeding up.

Good company, wrong focus

Pros

Average pay with great 401k match. Decent vacation and flexible incidental time off. Large company with many support groups. Limited travel.

Cons

Company is big and slow, not very dynamic. The large support structure tends to slow down any progress. Too much focus on the way things have always been done. Limited opportunity for career advancement.

Not the best place to learn best practices

Pros

- Good work-life balance - Company is genuinely interested in developing people - Dutch are culturally open and straight forward people, and this culture is prevalent in Philips as well

Cons

- Strategic intents are clear, however lacking considerations for tactical approach. - Technology can be better used. (eg: SAP) Loads of manual work-around - Out-sourced functions lack quality work, and not sure if Philips is over-paying for the quality of work we are receiving.
