Pros

Great products. Decent work culture and great team in Nairobi.

Cons

The company is top-heavy with way too many managers and few people doing the actual work. Weak go-to-market strategy for East Africa. Compensation is average for the industry. Supply chain is in a mess and there are no deliveries that are ever made on time. You're guaranteed to lose credibility with your customer despite the finance team insisting on pre-payment. No career growth or defined career path. You'll be stuck for 10+ years with the role you joined. Internal mobility only favors Arabs if you're in the META cluster. 100% of the new roles/opportunities are given to Turkish or Egyptians.

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.
