Pros

Good work content - Depends a lot on the group you join and your boss though. I had both good and bad experiences in the last 7 years.

Cons

Location - It is in the heart of the traffic jam! Office politics - Especially by old-timers with no skills/knowledge! Experience within in Philips decides who is right/wrong and not what is really right/wrong People managers - especially old timers - only care about headcount. If they get their way (and most of the time they do) they would get 9 men to produce a baby in 1 month only to realize that it is not a real baby and then they blame the 9 men for it!

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.
