Pros

Philips is full of great benefits and great people. There is an emphasis on a work-life balance, and it's well shared across the company. Obviously you might be stuck with a manager that does not share this mindset, but for the team I am on, and for the people I talk to (both in Nashville and around the US/Globe) it is a recurring theme. There is also a strong focus on the end user, which is typically a patient. They do their best to drive the point home that the work you do will likely aid in saving someone's life, or aiding in their care.

Cons

The ship is slow to steer. There are some highly ambitious individuals here, but I've seen some ideas get stomped out, not because of manager's or a culture that stifles innovation, but rather the amount of red tape that exists. It should be noted that this is likely exacerbated in my current role, but felt it should be mentioned. The data and tech literacy of the company is quite low. If you are looking to do analytics or want to work with data there will be a lot of hair pulling involved while getting said data, as well as communicating its worth.

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.
