Pros

- Talented team, great individual knowledge and most colleagues are willing to support each other - Good team spirit in general - Free fruits

Kontras

- Blaming culture is on a whole new level here - Very long working hours (overtime not paid) - You are expected not to go on normal holiday but take your off-time in small 1-2 days chunks so no one has to substitute you = you can do your missed work in overtime the next days. Actually there is a kind of a "competition" who has the most unused holidays from previous years, tells it all. - Weak on-site management (not willing to confront) combined with super bossy and controlling regional manager. - Very little chance for career development on-site due to small and flat organisation. You may have to move abroad to other Philips sites. - Low pay - In general you have a "cheap" feeling working there. Eg. very limited budget for business trips, old and cheap IT equipments/phones, no professional trainings

Hi there, Thanks a lot for writing your review and making us aware of what is happening in your department. We are here to listen! We definitely don’t want you to feel overworked and underpaid. Performance-related benefits increase in line. It’s nice that you have a good environment with your colleagues mutually, but you shouldn’t feel like a work horse. We understand that working for Philips can be intense and fast-paced, but it’s no use having our valuable employees over-burdened. Have you talked to your manager about this already? Please know that we encourage this, as we want to be transparent to our customers as well as our employees.

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.

Kontras

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.
