Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us here. We are here to listen and learn and we take this very seriously. At Philips we believe that the best place to work is an inclusive place to work. This means celebrating and fostering a work environment in which all of our people’s ideas, knowledge, perspectives, experiences and styles are valued. It also means that all individuals are treated fairly and respectfully, have equal access to opportunities and resources and can contribute fully to Philips’ success. If you ever feel mistreated or unequal, please talk to your manager about this, or contact the Philips Ethics Line. About getting time-off, we don’t want our colleagues to be stressed out! Although we do understand that our company can be fast-paced and dynamic, we don’t want you to be overburdened. That’s a valid point. Thanks again for sharing your review and please know that it’s appreciated.

Pros

The people in non- upper management roles that work there are fantastic. Great sense of community onsite and the culture champions are consistently looking for ways to make work life better.

Cons

Very poor communication on the strategy for the business unit. Leadership publicly promotes innovation and new ideas to be presented but then those ideas are shot down or penalized in private by current upper management. The business unit leadership says that don't want excuses for project delays but will then decide to do 3 major layoffs in the first two quarters with no transition plan, no support for gap in resources and no expectations to delayed progress.
