Good benefit but without many opportunity to grow

Business Outlook

Pros

There are a lot of social benefit in the company, canteen, company bus, private insurance. The environment is very nice, people are with a lot of respect.

Cons

There are not a lot of opportunities to grow since almost of the people are in the age range of 35 -45, for the younger people will be really hard to get promoted. Finally it is very frustrating.

Philips Response

Hi there, It's good to hear that you're able to enjoy a lot of benefits with your job. We think that's very important for our employees. But we can imagine growth opportunities are important for you. We encourage personal development and therefore it's important that a certain flow is possible. Perhaps you can speak to your manager about this and get it off your chest?
