Pros

good benefits and work life balance.

Cons

This place is literally like a notorious FLDS compound. Senior employees never allow you to grow. This place is worse than a third world sweatshop. I worked here for more than years and made huge contributions but was forced to leave. The manager was an imbecile; could not pin me on my work but wrote lies about it in annual performance report. When I confronted with facts, the spineless HR caved in and nothing happened. Even reported to the Senior management but they were just useless.

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
