Pros

Good perks, food, car lease scheme etc.

Cons

Toxic work culture in Philips GBS, office politics, even if you generate multi million dollar value to Philips business, you will be rated as a poor performer since you don't contribute to GBS back office. GBS Analytics (GDMA) especially is a crap and they never do real analytics rather they don't let you perform advanced analytics. Performance management is pathetic. They set a performance target of 300k savings for a manager handling 10-20 people and they also set 200k for one manager who doesn't manage a team. Poor mathematics.

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.
