      Pros

      Good benefits, amazing potential, great place to gain experience and skill sets that can be applied elsewhere. You actually work with products that save and improve the quality of lives worldwide. There are still a number of intelligent and incredible coworkers (who do care) that you can collaborate with. If you are lucky to work for a solid manager, you can really excel. Facility in Andover is world class.

      Cons

      One of the most political companies around. If you voice any concerns or challenge management, you're gone. If your manager or his/her boss doesn't like you, look for another job FAST. It doesn't matter the quality of your output, but who you know. Employees are scared to voice there true feelings and opinions. A number of high quality employees continue to leave simply because they are not treated with respect from managers/directors/executives who are nothing but "corporate-bullies".

      Don't even think about it

      Pros

      Philips has a generally well respected reputation, and is viewed from outside as a top-tier international corporation. Sonicare has a very loyal following as a brand, and is a great product.

      Cons

      Philips is extremely bureaucratic as an organization. The old Philips adage "if you're not Dutch, you're not much" is essentially true. Mediocrity and incompetence is rewarded over high performance, and morale is generally dismal, especially within the Marketing department. Turnover within Marketing is high; people come in energized, but quickly become demotivated and leave.

      Disappointing direction

      Pros

      The people are undeniably the best part of working at Philips. The majority of departments are very supportive and collaborative. PTO is easy to schedule, middle management is mostly great also. Questions are encouraged and are often met with enthusiasm.

      Cons

      Constantly changing, high turnover recently, layoffs, and little communication from upper management on upcoming changes. Philips is suffering from change fatigue and a serious morale issue. Changes to remote work has left employees feeing very undervalued and unsure about the future. Professional development has been lacking for opportunities for employees that aren't on site. Upper management has explicitly said they will be prioritizing on-site professionals over remote. Philips has lost a lot of very knowledgeable and dedicated workers in the last year because of the recent changes. I used to feel very strongly about enjoying my work at Philips and now I feel taken advantage of and undervalued.
