Pros

Excellent HR policies, Global HR practises, Good Employer of choice to work....a lot of restructuring keeps happening....Shared Services was sold to Infosys, NXP was off loaded, Consumer Electronics and Domestic appliance were merged, TV business was contracted to Vodafone, Preeti a local company in Chennai was accquired to create leadership in appliances....from a slow and steady european company Philips is becoming very dynamic in its approach.

Cons

While they do a lot of such M&A they need a lot more clarity on how to the impacted people are handled. I was a part of their Shared Services that was offloaded to Infosys and for a long period there was no clarity on how the people will get impacted.

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.
