      Lack of clear strategy and execution bogged down by decision making process

      Pros

      Some islands exist in the company with really smart, hard working people. Also, some really innovative, promising technologies being developed. As a results, now and again Philips surprises with a hit in spite of itself. If you can get hired into one of these islands - go for it!

      Cons

      Strategy seems to oscillate and company does not have obvious synergies between 3 disparate businesses; not a risk-taking culture, usually a fast-follower, lack of accountability and difficulty in firing people means some "dead wood" at the company, decision making can be slow and political process.

      Pros

      You can coast if you want There are some nice people Opportunities to go to Amsterdam Pretty good pay and benefits Relaxed atmosphere Experience with a global, Fortune 500 company

      Cons

      Unless you are a white, male from Europe, there is little chance for advancement. Strong "time served" mentality. Promotion is based almost solely on time with the company. Real aversion to making decisions. Everyone is involved in the discussions, but no one make the decisions. completely oblivious to their clients and the market.

      Only work here if you are average and want to have the same position until you retire

      Pros

      OK benefits and fair job security if you do the minimum required

      Cons

      One of the worst companies I have worked for. They reward mediocre conduct. As long as you limit to do what your job description says, you are OK; and 90% of the employees know this and act this way. No one will be able to help you unless they HAVE TO, even if it is for the benefit of the company. No one wants to take risks or go above and beyond because they may risk being fired. It is normal for people to ignore your emails (even after sending 3-4 times) or reply after several weeks if you are lucky enough. Mediocre is the standard. If you are the type of person that have great ideas and like to step out of the box and go above and beyond to solve problems and improve operations, THIS IS NOT THE COMPANY FOR YOU.
