Pros

If you land on the right team at Philips, every day can be an absolute joy. They take decent care of their employees (although it DOESN'T compare to the rest of Silicon Valley's tech sector). The company is stable, so you don't have to worry about it disappearing altogether.

Cons

If you land on the WRONG team, your life becomes a struggle to justify your existence. Massive layoffs happen every year at Thanksgiving. Benefits declined a little every year I was there.

Hi there, This doesn't sound all too good! Our employees are very important to us, so we feel bad that you feel this way. We don't want anyone to over-do it. Did you speak to an HR-colleague about this already? We realize that you are not a machine, but a human being like all of us. Thanks for sharing your review and we wish you a good day.

Pros

Reasonable salaries, low pressure, reasonable hours

Cons

Every management fad from the last two decades: Lean + Six Sigma + CL + Kaizen + Agile. Engineering management doesn’t understand how engineering works. Horrible semi open office environment
