Pros

At this point I can't think of any

Cons

After over 20 years of employment with Philips I was part of a massive layoff (450 of 850 employees left go). Currently those that survived the blood letting have no idea where they will be working or for how long. Senior management is clueless and seems to think that moving from the current building will solve all of the negative issues with the FDA etc. Truly clueless

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.

Cons

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.
