The company offers excellent work-life balance, and the culture is built on genuine respect and trust for its employees. There are also plenty of opportunities for continuous learning and professional growth, which makes it a great place to develop one’s career. Especially in the China market, while many other health tech companies have scaled back or even exited the region, Philips has maintained strong business stability and continues to invest steadily in local operations, which brings employees a strong sense of security.
Cons
The company is highly globalized, and the heavy use of English in daily work, meetings, and internal systems can be unfriendly to employees who are not fluent in English, which may create unnecessary barriers in communication.

It’s gratifying to know that you have such a good time in our company.
We appreciate your contributions and wish you all the best.
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.
