Pros

At this point I can't think of any

Cons

After over 20 years of employment with Philips I was part of a massive layoff (450 of 850 employees left go). Currently those that survived the blood letting have no idea where they will be working or for how long. Senior management is clueless and seems to think that moving from the current building will solve all of the negative issues with the FDA etc. Truly clueless

Pros

Philips still has good people, meaningful healthcare technology, and a strong brand name. Many employees care deeply about the customers, the products, and doing quality work.

Cons

The company culture has gone downhill. Management has become increasingly reliant on spreadsheet-driven decision making that often has little connection to real field conditions, employee workload, or customer impact. Priorities and goals change constantly, creating a desperate, reactive environment where employees are not given enough time to adjust before leadership shifts direction again. Morale suffers because teams are expected to execute against moving targets while leadership treats unrealistic planning as an execution problem.
