Pros

Many opportunities to learn about different parts of the business and own all of your own projects.

Cons

Very lean in terms of resources and have to wear different hats and a lot of pressure to meet deadlines. Limited room for growth at the site.

Thank you for saying a few words about the time you've been working for our company in Ontario. We're glad to hear that you can take ownership of the projects you're working on and that your overall Philips experience has been positive. We know there is always room for improvement: your feedback regarding the resources and the opportunities to grow is valuable to us and will be noted. We hope that, if you haven't done this yet, we can encourage you to share this with your manager or HR representative as well and to also inform them on the pressure you experience, to see how this could be changed. Your comments will be noted either way: our upper management also reads all Glassdoor reviews and is listening. We wish you a nice rest of the week.

Pros

Show up to work anytime within 7am-10am.

Cons

-High turnover in both leadership and staff creates bottlenecks and disorganization, likely due to micromanagement and unrealistic expectations. The company culture is outdated and not evolving with the times. A "fraternity culture" persists, where employees who endure toxic treatment from previous management eventually become managers themselves and continue the cycle. PTO comes with strict limitations. In certain roles, you cannot use your PTO freely, as there are rules preventing time off when others on your team are already off. Expect inconsistent treatment and varying answers to your questions depending on your team or supervisor. The role is advertised as requiring no prior experience, yet formal training lasts only 4-5 days, primarily consisting of shadowing a supervisor. Employees are hired individually, with no cohort or peer group for shared learning and support. There are minimal opportunities for growth as this business sector for Philips has only a few parts to it and operations are completely separate from what other teams might handle. Some people stay in the same role for 10 years yet they either cannot get to management title or deliberately do not want to.
