Pros

Ability to work from home.

Cons

This was the most toxic work environment I have ever been a part of. Unattainable KPIs pit teams/functions against each other so meetings devolve into shouting matches and nothing ever gets accomplished expect increased aggravation and blood pressure. Senior management is a club that looks down on everyone and is so far removed from the ongoing/day to day operations. They expect perfection but are far from it themselves. The never ending string of layoffs and job attrition makes accomplishing your job impossible with the added work you’re forced to pick up with no acknowledgement - the work is just dumped on you with no warning or training. It should be no surprise the office morale is very low and it’s hard, if not impossible to keep good people.

Amazing Company Leading Transformation of Lighting Industry

Pros

I cannot say enough good things about Signify. The organization is going through a major transformation from conventional to tech so if you want change and challenge this is a great place to be. While this is a lean organization with silver lining is lots of opportunity to wear many hats and get different experiences. There is also opportunity to grow and you drive and lead your career. Management does a very good job with communication and keeping employees informed. All ideas are listened to and valued.

Cons

The organization has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to best practices and ways of working across the board. Sometimes the communication or retrieval of this information when needed can be cumbersome.

Few nice colleagues, rotten senior management

Pros

In each department you will find a couple of intelligent, knowledgeable hard working colleagues with a team spirit.

Cons

Poor senior management with no vision, keeping the company stuck in a cost reduction strategy, rather than investing into market innovation. This ultimately results in a company with an ever shrinking headcount. Bully senior management with no ability to lead/direct/guide; this inability is covered up by fear as management style. This ultimately leads to energy spent on internal competition, rather on the only competition that matters, competitors. Internal politics are more valued than knowledge, expertise, and customer centricity, This results in internal politicians climbing the ladder and valuable members to quit. HR facilitates the politics-driven internal company culture and supports the artificially fed transformation process, by letting internal politicians reverse engineer fake reasons for the redundancy of their most performing colleagues/staff. The working professionals at Signify waste their time & energy and their knowledge & expertise, since senior management systematically turn down any intelligent initiative... because of their narrow short-term 'thinking'. The vibe is so bad, that offices are empty by 16:45, and rarely populated on Fridays.
