Philips is a nice company, but the corporate red tape and inconsistent practices make it so nothing gets done. - Analyst Philips Employee Review

Pros

401(k) - 150% match of your first 4% PTO - Lots or vacation days, paid holidays, and sick time. Benefits - extremely well priced benefits New open office space in Nashville Great pay/bonus structure

Cons

Being a global company, corporate red tape blocks anything and everything you need to accomplish. Management is not willing to leverage the ideas of employees Many departments have zero work. It may sound nice, but sitting in an office looking at a static computer screen for 8 hours with nothing to do gets very frustrating. Philips is supposedly a “lean” company, however, all processes are anything but lean. It is near impossible to get anything accomplished in a reasonable amount of time. Recently relocating to Nashville, the business still has an extraordinary amount of things that need to be fixed, frustration lies around every corner. Sexual harassment gets a slap on the wrist, on many occasions.

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.
