Pros

I like the atmosphere and the ability to approach senior and upper management without any repercussions. PTO & Sick time is great. Best I ever had in a long time!

Cons

One person handling all HR claims for 800+ employees. Male Senior management favors male employees! your hard work is not acknowledged. the ones who slack off and have zero experience get away with not working and being on their phones because they are friends with senior management. This is not the corporate experience I expected. There is no loyalty amongst leadership and team. It's sad when the whole company is waiting on amazon to arrive!

Hi there, thank you for sharing your experiences with your time at Philips here. Great to hear you're happy with the atmosphere and approachability of higher management. Having said that, the way you describe the HR processes within your department is less thrilling. I can imagine it's not great to have the idea male employees are being favored. Therefore, I would like to draw your attention to our Ethics point, an independent third party (https://secure.ethicspoint.eu/domain/media/en/gui/100518/index.html). Please know that management is active on Glassdoor as well, so your feedback won't go unnoted. Thanks again for sharing this and I wish you all the best with your career!

Pros

Opportunities. Training. Innovative products. Benefits.

Cons

Management out of touch with real world expectations. Parts have too high failure rate (DOA). Does not listen to field on resolutions to problems faced day to day. Local management holds employees back and micro manages.

Hi there, it's a pity to hear you felt like the management was not properly connected and committed to the field staff and that we didn't keep in touch with you when you left after 10 years. I can imagine that is disappointing, and I apologize. That's definitely a learning moment for us. It's good to hear you were pleased with the career and learning opportunities during your time with us. Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts here. I sincerely hope you are happy in your current job and wish you all the best with your career!
