Pros

Good work/life balance Flexible on hours

Cons

Very poor management in some teams, causing a cascade effect of poor workflow on larger projects, recalls, wasted resources etc. Crazy high employee turnover, especially in teams like marketing. Managers play favorites and deny obvious candidates for promotion in favor of people with (often) years less experience who they just 'like' better HR are useless and never fix anything

Pros

Clean work environment. Free PPE. If you are a bad welder apply here. They hire anyone who shows up to the interview.

Cons

Low pay for welders. See above. They pay everyone like you are the guy who can't weld. If you stick around for your whole career you might make an extra dollar or 2 an hour. After one year they gave me a .5% raise which was equivalent to 10 cents. Inflation is currently estimated at 7-9% for comparison. Philips does NOT prioritize paying their workers. At the end of 2021 and early 2022, their 3rd party payroll system was hacked. Philips decided that paying their employees for their overtime work was not a priority. For roughly 2-3 months every hourly worker got paid for 40 hours even if you worked 60. And mind you this was right around the holidays. Many workers were counting on that extra overtime money. I saw grown men crying over this because their families Christmas' were ruined. This went on for months. Yes, you got the overtime pay eventually. Philips, an international company which is worth billions of dollars couldn't risk paying an extra 50 bucks to an hourly worker. I'm sure their vendors and suppliers got paid on time.
