We were sorry to read your comments but thank you for taking the time to share your views. We acknowledge this has been a time of great change at Philips, separating from lighting and shifting our focus to health tech has required a lot of dynamic working and fast-paced change. We hope this can also be a rewarding time for our employees as we broaden our skills, are exposed to new ways of working and move into new markets. I’m not sure we can effectively address your concerns here but as you know we’re currently in mid-year PPM cycle so now’s the best time to have an open and frank discussion with your manager. The whole purpose of the PPM is to give you an opportunity to review your career objectives, address the challenges you face and discuss longer-term career aspirations, which of course we hope will be at Philips. We’re glad your aligned with our mission and vision for the future and hope you’ll be able to continue to drive change and inspire others to do the same as we continue on our journey of transformation.

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.
