Pros

-modern company, modern/latest tools for work -good for experiencing international company culture

Cons

-The Greek branch of the company doesn't care about it's employees. 50% of the employees are owned by 3rd party contractors, and stay there for many years promised a move to the main company which has better benefits. Cases of employees leaving after being promised a position in main company are very common. This creates disillusion between employees where half of them have decent salaries and the rest get minimum wage. I wouldn't recommend working at Philips as a 3rd party contractor. -no IT department

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.
