Pros

Unlimited PTO (recently). Great people who are passionate about helping customers. Great work life balance. Focus on diversity.

Cons

Upper management is all over the place. There are constant reorgs every year. Never get any support to help teams make the product.

Hello, we really appreciate your review and pleased to hear that you are satisfied with the work/life balance at Philips. It is a shame to hear though of your feedback regarding upper management. Your thoughts will be noted, our management is also monitoring all Glassdoor reviews and is listening. Thank you for your review and continuous cooperation with Philips!

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.
