Pros

There's a lot of diversity with people from all over the world. Mostly young so it's still fun kind of like grad school. Lots of work to figure out the problems in the health care system to make it better. It's work you can be proud of.

Cons

Leadership is not very diverse and it's not clear how to get promoted because their accomplishments aren't obvious. Advice can be unhelpful because it's judged based on your appearance. Projects don't really go anywhere because business units are risk averse and have no institutional grasp of AI. It's deflating sometimes. Tech infrastructure is a joke but research doesn't go into production anyway. My grad school had better engineering.

Business outlook

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.

Philips Response

Thanks for sharing your feedback and for your 7.5 years of service with us. It’s great to hear that you found a fantastic sense of community and culture onsite among your colleagues. We’re sorry to hear about your experience. Your perspective on management transparency and resource support is incredibly helpful, and we’re actively working to improve our ways of working. We appreciate your dedication over the years and your honest insights, which help us focus on building a better workplace. We wish you all the best in your future career.
