Pros

By far the best aspect of working at Philips is the benefits package. The 401(k) matching is better than any company I have ever heard of, and the insurance options are reasonable and comprehensive. The Nashville, TN (Philips Plaza) office is newly renovated and includes sit-stand desks and dual monitors are every workstation. The people here are all friendly and seem to have a great deal of pride in the mission of Philips. Additionally, having paid (garage) parking just two blocks away is a nice perk that not many other downtown office workers get. The work-life balance is good for reps considering when you leave work there is not much that you take home with you, although middle-management seems to be heavily burdened even outside of working hours. Executive leadership, though overseas, seems to be well-grounded and generally leading the company well.

Cons

In my department in particular, under-performing reps tend to be micro-managed a fair amount more than what I would expect as normal. There are often times when management (even at the Director level) will create needless busy work that, at the end of the day, only gets in the way of selling. This could be due to the fact that our newly-created sales team is not performing as they expected and they seem to be on edge (leading to worry from reps if their job will be here in 6 months). Also, this job could be done 100% from home and yet they will not issue us laptops to work remotely.

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.
