      Pros

      Very smart team and great projects

      Cons

      No respect for work-life balance Extremely frugal company in all the sens of the word - all social event always held on workers time never company time (BBQ, Team event, team lunch/dinners,...) Also the senior leadership team is leaving the company at a very face pace in the past 2 months

      Discriminate locals.

      Pros

      No pros. Learn nothing. Greatly underpaid for the dangerous lab work we do.

      Cons

      Discriminate local Singaporeans. Local Singaporeans only technician and associate level. Engineers and above only foreigners. No recognition for work we have done. Impossible to upgrade from associate level to Engineer level even with degree. Only looking for foreigners while the locals at lower end there are suffering. If you like R&D, look elsewhere.

      STAY AWAY from Philips

      Pros

      Nice friendly colleagues ready to jelp out to get projects going. Also flexible. Nothing else good to add.

      Cons

      I've never come across such a poor employer as Philips. This company is going downhill fast. Also lacks compassion. Unprofessional and irresponsible HR who shys away from intimidating and challenging situations. Does not care whatsoever to listen to employees. Same goes for the management team in Amsterdam. Poor leadership management and lack of direction. Management makes no effort to back up employees instead a pushover. Also makes no effort to support employees. Cumbersome processes. Reactive company and very slow to react to market. Care more about what is done and not appreciative of how it's done. Alot of destructing going on and jobs may be taken away in advance without proposing a good package, unappreciative of enployees' year of contribution.
