CEO approval

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.

Business Outlook

Pros

Lots of opportunity for recognition and advancement. Philips is also trying to change the make up of its leadership team by making increasing efforts on diversity. While Healthcare has more female senior management then other sectors they have set specific goals to improve even more.

Cons

A lot of work! Not great at work/life balance. At Director level and above there is an expectation of almost 24/7 availability.
