Pros

The work/life balance is well-managed; one can have outside hobbies and free time while working there. The natures of the projects worked on lends themselves to be interesting. My direct report was always very eager to provide whatever support he could, in terms of project direction and additional reasources.

Cons

Compensation is far below what it should be, at least for engineers. Also, at times, there is a decided lack of a feeling of cohesiveness or direction from upper level management. Other business groups also have strong opinions on product directions that are often misguided.

Pros

Philips provides a great environment for employees who want to live a balanced life. They encourage you to grow yourself in all aspect of life, not just work.

Cons

Working for a big company like Philps, it is easy to get lost in the shuffle. If you are not a strong proponent for your work, then no one else will be either.

Pros

Everchanging industry with lots of opportunity for critical thinking and developing creative methodologies when management allows and is not constrained. Working wages are good for women

Cons

As Mark Twain once said, "Loyalty to petrified opinion never broke a chain or freed a human soul." Frequently, as in most companies in this industry, marketing and arbitrary schedules "tie the hands" of the creative end of development and in most cases are counter productive.
