Overall Great Company - HR Shared Services a poor group

Anonymous employee

Pros

Work life balance, great benefits, amazing innovations

Cons

The HR Shared Services group has limited to NO career development opportunities and are constantly focused on numbers rather than making improvements - claim to be "lean" but really just focus on getting the MOST done... Management has consistently embarrassed employees on the floor in front of others

Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us here. We are here to listen and learn and we take this very seriously. At Philips we believe that the best place to work is an inclusive place to work. This means celebrating and fostering a work environment in which all of our people’s ideas, knowledge, perspectives, experiences and styles are valued. It also means that all individuals are treated fairly and respectfully, have equal access to opportunities and resources and can contribute fully to Philips’ success. If you ever feel mistreated or unequal, please talk to your manager about this, or contact the Philips Ethics Line. About getting time-off, we don’t want our colleagues to be stressed out! Although we do understand that our company can be fast-paced and dynamic, we don’t want you to be overburdened. That’s a valid point. Thanks again for sharing your review and please know that it’s appreciated.

Defib Business Struggling

Pros

Awesome, live-saving product. Smart talent. Average benefits. Modern, open-minded policies about working remote and flex time in most departments. Big site with amenities like cafeteria, gym, play field, and various on-site services. Opportunities to move around the company.

Cons

This business unit seems to continue to struggle, getting bogged down in inefficiencies related to QMS maintenance and chronic under-staffing. This gets in the way of true success in product development, delivery and the revenue potential that's there to be captured in this market. Working there is like swimming on molasses... Progress and change are very slow. Compensation is below industry average.
