Thank you for saying a few words about the 4+ years you've been working as Catalogue Specialist for Philips in Singapore. It's appreciated. We're glad to read that you're able to maintain a healthy balance between work and your personal life, but we regret to hear that you've had an unpleasant experience with your manager while discussing your salary. Have you perhaps already brought this to the attention of your HR representative? If not, then we hope that we can encourage you to. Our management is also reading all reviews here on Glassdoor and is listening. We wish you all the best moving forward.

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.
