Big company with rules but with many opportunities

Project manager

Business Outlook

Pros

It's an international company where you have the possibility to work with people from around the world on top technologies and products. Top management has clear vision on the offering side that helps the company to stay focused. The diversity of Health Care, Consumer Electronics and Light gives them the strenght for not so good times as these now. The work / life balance is very good in Austria. Very flexible work times and remote working (if that's an option) are possible. That works very well here because there is a very good team spirit.

Cons

It's a big company with many rules to follow but flexible enough to ensure that the job gets done.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great company targeted towards being market driven, focused on end users to enrich their lives, it's employees, and via sustainability our planet and society. It;s focus on being a health and well being company provides interesting growth/profit opportunities in an area contributing to the mentioned stakeholder groups.

Cons

Sometimes being a Dutch company we take too much time to discuss, to get everybody on board before making a decision. The markets served (Healthcare, Lighting, Consumer Lifestyle) force to be very cost oriented to obtain the margins which are required to berewarded by the shareholder community, this can take away some of the conditions to function more easily/comfortably and to the best of each ability.
