      Pros

      Working for an originally Dutch company founded in 1891 has many benefits from a human perspective. Gerard and Anton started the company as sons of a rich banker from The Hague and of course the son (Frits) made the company loyal during the second world war. And he supported the Global expansion with currently 67.000 employees based in 💯 countries a d helping people to get diagnosed (Imagining and Diagnostics Business), helping people to get treatment (Connected Care business). So a good company to build a career.

      Cons

      The company is currently (2025) in a very difficult position, leaving some of the old Cash Cows behind (Lighting, Domestic Appliances and many others) and being in a highly regulated business (Medical Devices)

      Pros

      The people in non- upper management roles that work there are fantastic. Great sense of community onsite and the culture champions are consistently looking for ways to make work life better.

      Cons

      Very poor communication on the strategy for the business unit. Leadership publicly promotes innovation and new ideas to be presented but then those ideas are shot down or penalized in private by current upper management. The business unit leadership says that don't want excuses for project delays but will then decide to do 3 major layoffs in the first two quarters with no transition plan, no support for gap in resources and no expectations to delayed progress.
