Pros

Good Benefits and average pay

Cons

Philips lost a contract and I was told to work through the end of the contract date and I would get my severance package along with my 2024 bonus if I worked through the last day of the year. However, they gave me no bonus or severance after I fulfilled my obligations as they stated. Emailed upper management to include the CEO as well as HR and got no response at all!

Institutionally Racist Organization – Stay Away!

Pros

If you are from an ethnic minority, there are no benefits—only disadvantages!

Cons

Racism is very much alive! Philips is an institutionally racist organisation. If you are from an ethnic minority, I would not recommend working there. You will likely receive lower pay than your counterparts, and promotions will be out of reach. This systemic racism is deeply embedded within the company and spreads across the organisation globally.

Thank you for taking the time to share the aspects you're content with when it comes to working at Philips in Cambridge and to share how you think we could improve as employer. This is of great value to us. It's good to hear that the compensation offered meets your expectations and that you're keen on your colleagues. That you work very hard, but feel limited when it comes to the options to advance in your career with us, is of course regrettable. We are committed to treating all our people fairly, to make sure they have equal access to opportunities and resources. As you don't experience this, we hope that we can encourage you to share this via our Ethics line. All concerns raised will be followed-up. Our Ethics line can be found here: https://secure.ethicspoint.eu/domain/media/en/gui/100518/index.html. Thank you once again for the review. We wish you all the best moving forward.
