knowing that a difference is being made, feeling proud of the accomplishment done on a daily basis.
Cons
Leadership is horrible, way to many politics, no work life balance. No future within the company, opportunities are given to those that are not even qualified for the positions. Higher leadership does not acknowledge you.

Hi there, thanks for sharing your thoughts here. Our biggest aim is to improve people's lives by doing the work we do every day, indeed, and we're glad that you're a part of this mission. However, it's unfortunate to hear you don't feel like you have a future within the company and that, in your opinion, it's hard to have a healthy work-life balance at Philips. Giving our people the opportunity to drive their own career at the company and showing them that we understand they have a life outside work too are two of our main objectives when it comes to employees. That's why we'd like for you to know that your feedback won't go unnoticed: our management teams are active on this platform as well. Once again, thanks for the review, and we wish you a pleasant day!
Thank you for sharing your perspective and for your ongoing dedication to our organization. We acknowledge the feedback regarding internal organizational dynamics. As a leader in a heavily regulated and critical sector, we remain fully focused on process optimization, streamlining decision-making, and enhancing leadership alignment to cultivate a highly agile environment for our teams worldwide.
We encourage you to reach out to HR or your manager for an open discussion regarding your feedback, and we appreciate your continued contributions to our shared mission.
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.
