Pros

Philps is a great place to work. Great work/life balance and a lot of flexibility is offered to all employees.

Cons

Not so much a con but because Philips is such a large company it often takes longer to get things done. If coming from a small company it may be hard to get used to.

Pros

You are given the chance to take control of your career and succeed or fail on your own merits. Flexible work schedule. Work from home office.

Cons

The tough economy has greatly reduced available funding for meetings and travel. There is an extreme amount of pressure to limit unnecessary expenses.

Pros

Philips has an excellent benefits package, certainly better than a comparably sized global company that I worked with previously. Overall, I think Philips makes good products and is an average place to work, in terms of advancement, recognition and career aspirations. I'm so frustrated working here that I'm struggling to find many "Pros".

Cons

I have never worked for a more dysfunctional organization in my career. Senior management routinely make poor strategic decisions and leave the rank and file to try and make the most of it. The "high potential" program cuts both ways - if you aren't a designated HYPO, you are going nowhere and those that do get designated, get a lot of responsibility thrown at them with little or no support from management. The basic philosophy is to only invest the bare minimum in the business and hope for the absolute best results.
