      Sinking Ship

      Pros

      Overall great products, smart people, and solid install base.

      Cons

      Royal Philips is a 123 year-old sinking Titanic. 2014 was a dismal year and many, many good people lost their jobs. Philips split Lighting division and Healthcare apart. Now the two are the bow and stern of the sinking ship. Both halves will still sink, now only more slowly. Management has never been able to integrate acquisitions into one cohesive organization. The buying spree from the last 20 years has created Silo businesses that can't be managed. Inside of each Silo are other Silos. For example, Sales and Service compete with each other. There's zero focus on solving real customer needs.

      Pros

      Compensation is okay People are nice people focused company You can stay as long as you want if you can follow one simple policy - "You scratch my back and I'll scratch yours" Benefits are decent but not as good as they boast - check out new policies

      Cons

      People are nice but not as a team. They play safe game and when you challenge they act as if they do not know what you are talking about. CEO is clueless. Strategy changes after every quarter results. All these years, they wasted tons of money calling it "One Philips" and trying to integrate different divisions and now they are again spending double of it to disintegrate the same. There are managers either who doesn't know what they are doing or those who micro manage veterans like college out kids. And there are managers who just believe that there is nothing beyond their knowledge.

      Pros

      When I started the availability of training was outstanding and they were more than willing to send me to any training class that would benefit the local area.

      Cons

      The mentality of both the company and the upper management has changed for the worse. Training is no longer readily available on new products the management team preaches that this is the year to take care of the customers when their actions state the exact opposite. The company has made so many cuts that employees are forced to finish the job on their own time without pay. This company also does not promote from within very frequently and when they do it is not always the best decision.
