Pros

I like the atmosphere and the ability to approach senior and upper management without any repercussions. PTO & Sick time is great. Best I ever had in a long time!

Cons

One person handling all HR claims for 800+ employees. Male Senior management favors male employees! your hard work is not acknowledged. the ones who slack off and have zero experience get away with not working and being on their phones because they are friends with senior management. This is not the corporate experience I expected. There is no loyalty amongst leadership and team. It's sad when the whole company is waiting on amazon to arrive!

Hi there, thank you for sharing your experiences with your time at Philips here. Great to hear you're happy with the atmosphere and approachability of higher management. Having said that, the way you describe the HR processes within your department is less thrilling. I can imagine it's not great to have the idea male employees are being favored. Therefore, I would like to draw your attention to our Ethics point, an independent third party (https://secure.ethicspoint.eu/domain/media/en/gui/100518/index.html). Please know that management is active on Glassdoor as well, so your feedback won't go unnoted. Thanks again for sharing this and I wish you all the best with your career!

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.
