Pros

Pay is above average, lots of good people

Cons

Company culture lacks accountability and leadership lacks vision. There are a lot of Reduction in Force happening across the company eliminating the positions of long-term employees who are walking out the door with all the tribal knowledge. The return to office policy has no value, so I think Philips is using it to get people to quit and/or to fire them.

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.
