Big company atmosphere, not homogeneous, do your homework carefully!

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Close proximity to home. Very nice building & facilities. Close to Rt 93, easy to access

Cons

Very political, especially among middle managers. Personal advancement frequently not related to merit. Decisions often favor internal goals and needs, not customer needs. It is a European company so you have to get used to an autocratic management.

Work environment is great, compensation is sub-par.

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The work/life balance is well-managed; one can have outside hobbies and free time while working there. The natures of the projects worked on lends themselves to be interesting. My direct report was always very eager to provide whatever support he could, in terms of project direction and additional reasources.

Cons

Compensation is far below what it should be, at least for engineers. Also, at times, there is a decided lack of a feeling of cohesiveness or direction from upper level management. Other business groups also have strong opinions on product directions that are often misguided.

Pros

Philips provides a great environment for employees who want to live a balanced life. They encourage you to grow yourself in all aspect of life, not just work.

Cons

Working for a big company like Philps, it is easy to get lost in the shuffle. If you are not a strong proponent for your work, then no one else will be either.
