Pros

A very structured organization. Ideal place to work for those who like a controlled atmosphere.An organization with very good Internal Control, Self assessment and Governance mechanism. Can be compared to best in industry systems and processes.

Cons

A slow organization, Decision making is quite laid back and hence innovation and competitiveness becomes a challenge in todays fast evolving and changing scenario. Competition has therefore caught up with Philips and also overtaken it in many spheres, be it products, technology, innovation, pricing, time to market and so on.

Pros

Has very good and well documented processes, ample opportunities to grow in the organization. Good employee benefits and training opportunities.

Cons

The company is undergoing major transformation, from Electronics Giant to a Lifestyle healthcare company. Business units are sold away, and retrenchments has become quite a norm in this company. Candidates should be selective which division they choose to join, or else face the risk of retrenchment.

Pros

They have multiple initiatives that directly involve acting on employee feedback. During my 5 years there, I saw changes to processes, operations, communication and teamwork both individually and between departments. All of this was driven from the level of the everyday employee upwards.

Cons

Wages are reviewed only once per year for a max of a 5% salary increase. Unless you're a star performer, with time, your current wage with many years of experience could be equal to the minimum starting wage of new employees with zero experience doing the same job.
