Pros

Excellent product with large fan base. Skilled engineering organization. New technology roadmap looks solid.

Cons

Marketing department is in disarray with poor leadership and ridiculously high turnover. Product marketing jobs at this location are operations oriented (read - engineering change orders and packaging revisions); all business, revenue planning, channel and customer activity is handled at the local country level. Distance from corporate HQ limits interaction with peers, and all international travel is in coach (long and awful flights to NL). If you're not a Dutch man under the age of 35, your opportunities for advancement in Philips global is very limited.

Pros

Exciting, fast paced, constant change and continous improvements - people advance quickly if the put in the hard work. The culture is one of innovation, belonging and caring. People are challenged to do their best. Being a Dutch company, we are very process driven. For our location, the workplace is spatially open giving folks room to breathe. The individual workspaces are comfortable and common areas are safe and well maintained. Meeting/Conference spaces have all the modern ammenities to facilitate communications worldwide. The cafeteria is subsidized so lunches are under $5. The company is very "green" in its products and its culture.

Cons

Expecatations of management are high - this is a company of performers.
