Pros

Philips is global company, so your mileage will vary, but in my experience: - 401k plan is better than most. - Work/Life balance is great. - Global and dynamic business model - complex/challenging projects - Philips products do improve people’s lives. - Philips brand looks good on a resume. - Company seems to be on an upward trajectory

Cons

Typical big company issues: - Lousy Non-existent culture - The never ending RIFs and restructurings have left the organization resource constrained, dumber, confused, and demoralized. - ‘If you ain’t Dutch you ain’t much” is a real thing. Not a great company if you’re an American. -Upper Management can be a bit penny wise and pound foolish.
