Pros

Once upon a time this was an awesome company to work for. And I was proud of being part of Philips. I worked for the company many years. I was very good at my job and had a wonderful relationship with the clients. But its all gone downhill with upper managements erratic and constantly contradictory decisions. The company has good benefits. That's about it.

Cons

- Moving jobs to Bangalore and dissolving all North American positions in the Healthcare sector. They believe with the ability to have less labor costs they will still have great support. - Have no respect for clients and do not intend to tell them that support will be centralized in Bangalore. One day they will call in and there will only be Indian techs answering. - Letting good engineers go and replacing with engineers who don't even know basic Windows environment. -They change directors and management like they change their underwear. - Have NO idea how to truly run engineering support models - Rather pay for consultants than actually check their own emplyees resume and see there are former consultant and engineers with more knowledge than any consultant they would be able to hire - No care for employees work life balance. The One Philips motto is just that. Talk. All the public press about the company being employee centric is not true. And even though they say there is no retaliation for the ethics line, there is They have dissolved so many teams and offices to move the work to India, they will soon see it will be a train wreck. - Just like GE, who thought moving all their support to India was the best thing ever, but now they've moved it all back. Spending even more money because they thought they were going to save money by not paying employees so much.

Pros

The people in non- upper management roles that work there are fantastic. Great sense of community onsite and the culture champions are consistently looking for ways to make work life better.

Cons

Very poor communication on the strategy for the business unit. Leadership publicly promotes innovation and new ideas to be presented but then those ideas are shot down or penalized in private by current upper management. The business unit leadership says that don't want excuses for project delays but will then decide to do 3 major layoffs in the first two quarters with no transition plan, no support for gap in resources and no expectations to delayed progress.
