      Pros

      Benefits are in line with top 10% of the industry

      Cons

      > A company with 100+ years legacy does not have standard tools/processes yet. You only spend time to reconcile data from one system to another & one manager's perspective to another's. > Attempts to standardize processes & tools lacks conviction & alignment with business priorities, which in itself is very dynamic as far as Philips is concerned. > Management shoves the improvement plans down the throats of the employee's. Seeking clarity gets their wrath. > No holistic employee development plan. > Change implementation is the worst. > Leaders at mid managerial level are not empowered to deliver on the objective they are given. > All of this contribute to a very toxic culture.

      Hi there, thank you for sharing your honest thoughts on the time you've worked for our company. We regret to hear that there are many things that you think need to be changed within your former department in Madras, but we highly appreciate it that you've decided to not keep these to yourself. Both as manufacturer and employer we're continuously striving for improvement and we'll definitely make sure to write these down. We hope that you've already found or will soon find a position that is completely to your liking. All the best in your professional career!

      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.
