Vantaggi

Regional job scope - but you can get this at most MNCs. Lower level people are decent.

Svantaggi

This place is treated by top management like an old boys’ club where friends get all the credit, rewards and promotions. How well you do largely depends on who you know, which executive likes you and how well you can kiss-up. This company has a penchant for promoting the wrong people. There is a saying in Philips - there are doers and there are talkers. The doers do all the work and the talkers suck up to management and get all the credit and rewards, including promotions. Be wary of schemers and back stabbers, of which there are many in this place. If you end up working for the wrong boss, you will get your career sabotaged, like me. I worked on many major projects, got along well with my peers and mentored the newbies in my department but others got the credit and promotions. You will end up bitter, demoralized and frustrated. Biggest career mistake was joining this company. Many have left on really bad terms and I know many that are planning to leave.

Thank you for telling us about your experience that you’ve had with us. We do think it’s unfortunate to hear that this hasn’t been a more positive one. We always hope to provide the right colleagues with the right compensation for their hard work. It is something that we do take seriously. We would recommend talking about this with the HR department, or calling with our anonymous HR phone number. That being said, it is nice to hear that you’ve got to work on amazing major projects and had a nice contact with the newer colleagues as well as your peers. We do wish you the best with all your future endeavors.

Vantaggi

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.

Svantaggi

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.
