Pros

1. Attractive policy, health insurance, gym, variables etc 2. work from home, sick leave etc

Cons

1. Its not product based but behavior is of service based. lots of politics by managers. 2. Technologist, architects, senior architects have very tough life and no job security. 3. 4 times a years reorganization happens and only technical people get fired specially Engineers, Architects and Test Architects. 4. Mismanagement at lower level is causing failing of BUs, one after another.

Hi there, thank you for taking the time to review your former employer. We highly appreciate it that you've not only shared the things you were happy with during the time you've worked for Philips as Senior Architect, but that you've also shared the aspects that you think need to change. Of course, reorganization is definitely not something that we think lightly of. We're constantly striving for improvement, not only as manufacturer but also as employer, and your feedback is therefore very valuable to us. It will be duly noted. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts here and all the best in your future undertakings!

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.
