      Poor culture, pathetic "leadership" - Anonymous employee Philips Employee Review

      Pros

      Some training opportunities. Good benefits, but other companies have matched these benefits. Job security-very rarely would they let an employee go.

      Cons

      Stressful and tense political culture. Management not interested in producing quality work. Blame comes freely from managment to employees, but recognition is never given for good work. Management gossips about employees and their "incompetence". Does not promote innovation but is very good at self promotion and inflation of achievements--without substance to back up claims. Generally an unprofessional work environment. Sexism occurs more frequently than it should. There was never any plan for the project leading to lack of focus and direction at all levels.

      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.
