Pros

Philips has a generally well respected reputation, and is viewed from outside as a top-tier international corporation. Sonicare has a very loyal following as a brand, and is a great product.

Cons

Philips is extremely bureaucratic as an organization. The old Philips adage "if you're not Dutch, you're not much" is essentially true. Mediocrity and incompetence is rewarded over high performance, and morale is generally dismal, especially within the Marketing department. Turnover within Marketing is high; people come in energized, but quickly become demotivated and leave.

Pros

The people are undeniably the best part of working at Philips. The majority of departments are very supportive and collaborative. PTO is easy to schedule, middle management is mostly great also. Questions are encouraged and are often met with enthusiasm.

Cons

Constantly changing, high turnover recently, layoffs, and little communication from upper management on upcoming changes. Philips is suffering from change fatigue and a serious morale issue. Changes to remote work has left employees feeing very undervalued and unsure about the future. Professional development has been lacking for opportunities for employees that aren't on site. Upper management has explicitly said they will be prioritizing on-site professionals over remote. Philips has lost a lot of very knowledgeable and dedicated workers in the last year because of the recent changes. I used to feel very strongly about enjoying my work at Philips and now I feel taken advantage of and undervalued.
