Pros

Benefits, work/career balance If you want an H1-B visa go for it, they're a factory. I'd say 80-90% of the technical people are foriegn born, Chineese, Pakistan, Indian. Most with poor English skills. Then you have the Dutch expats.

Cons

Salary at the very low end, very high cost of living (NYC suburbs), no career path, technically unsophisticated, when they say research they mean short term development. Bad communication across research labs (Eindhoven gets priority, followed by China & India).

Business Outlook

Pros

Some islands exist in the company with really smart, hard working people. Also, some really innovative, promising technologies being developed. As a results, now and again Philips surprises with a hit in spite of itself. If you can get hired into one of these islands - go for it!

Cons

Strategy seems to oscillate and company does not have obvious synergies between 3 disparate businesses; not a risk-taking culture, usually a fast-follower, lack of accountability and difficulty in firing people means some "dead wood" at the company, decision making can be slow and political process.

Pros

You can coast if you want There are some nice people Opportunities to go to Amsterdam Pretty good pay and benefits Relaxed atmosphere Experience with a global, Fortune 500 company

Cons

Unless you are a white, male from Europe, there is little chance for advancement. Strong "time served" mentality. Promotion is based almost solely on time with the company. Real aversion to making decisions. Everyone is involved in the discussions, but no one make the decisions. completely oblivious to their clients and the market.
