Pros

Could be a great place, it has the right values of impacting the health and wellbeing of people.

Cons

Too complicated organizational structure with no accountability. All decisions are pushed up to senior leaders. Also a very Dutch company which does not like outsiders “if you ain’t Dutch, you ain’t much.” Very hyper critical of new ideas. Not a transparent operating system or behaviors.

Thanks for your review about your experience so far as Functional Leader, that's much appreciated. It's however unfortunate to hear that you feel that the company isn't as open-minded as it could be. Our goal definitely is to have a environment and culture in which everyone could have their say. Thanks for your honest feedback, I'll make sure to share it with a relevant team.

Pros

Great people and amazing benefits!!

Cons

Philips is still developing their direction. There is a lot of changes in leadership and people are constantly leaving. The most difficult part is they encourage professional development but HR is not working to make it happen. There is not much support. We were warned before about Philips having many layoffs and it seems to be the go to.
