      Pros

      Amazing skills development programs, and management are great facilitators of these programs. Friendly culture, professional colleagues.

      Cons

      After developing your skills, the company will reassign you to the role you trained for. Which provides experience, without any role changes or compensation increases. I ended up doing a role that would pay 20% more for almost an entire year, while management decided whether to promote me. After some time they eventually did. I am now in the middle of round two of this same process, while my colleagues are finding employment elsewhere. Only way to be fairly compensated is to take the skills that Philips helped develop, to another employer.

      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.
