Pros

Innovative multi national company, with a big pipeline of new products. Flexible working conditions with room for development and exploration of new ideas

Cons

Unhealthy environment with continued pressure and unrealistic targets. No loyalty towards employees and very little understanding of what's going on at the front line. Yet management always know better

Hi there and thank you for taking the time to provide a review. It’s unfortunate to hear that you feel that the set goals are not realistic. This would be a very good point to discuss within your branch and with your managers. We do think a good and realistic focus is important, but we also want to aim for a very high goal of course. For the atmosphere, as well as for the effectiveness in which we innovate. We are glad to hear that you like the international character of our company and the products we produce and that you do get to have flexible working conditions.

Pros

Philips still has good people, meaningful healthcare technology, and a strong brand name. Many employees care deeply about the customers, the products, and doing quality work.

Cons

The company culture has gone downhill. Management has become increasingly reliant on spreadsheet-driven decision making that often has little connection to real field conditions, employee workload, or customer impact. Priorities and goals change constantly, creating a desperate, reactive environment where employees are not given enough time to adjust before leadership shifts direction again. Morale suffers because teams are expected to execute against moving targets while leadership treats unrealistic planning as an execution problem.
