Few opportunities for development

Pros

Very good work/life balance. It is possible to work from home and to negotiate time with the line manager. If you work in R&D there are many chances to travel, which makes the job more interesting and less monotonic. A good place to start a career and accumulate knowledge in preparation for the next steps.

Cons

Litigious management, taking care more of its own growth than the one of the company. Highly political; impossible to develop a career unless the employee has more than good relation with the boss (assuming the fact that the boss matters within the organization). Politics seems to matter more than competence. Projects suffer from that, and ultimately also products.

Pros

Medical product design work can be extremely satisfying. Philips makes interesting medical products which save peoples lives. You will make a contribution to these products, and can often see them in use in hospitals and medical clinics

Cons

Very large organization, can make it hard to move up. You have to work hard to be visible to upper management
