Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective. It's good to hear that you're happy with the benefits offered at Philips and that you're working in a great team. We understand that when changes are made to our organizational structure and processes this can cause some uncertainty; in a period of growth and change, we're constantly working on improving the efficiency of our leadership team and help our managers understand how they can better develop and communicate with their teams. Therefore, your feedback is valuable to us. We hope that if you have any specific concerns that you'd like to further discuss, we can encourage you to bring this to the attention of your manager or HR representative. Thank you again for your review. We wish you all the best moving forward.

Pros

Big company Multinational Good insurance Good coffee Near to my home

Cons

Leadership (lack of it, values are not displayed and role modeled) Strategy (lack of it or lack of alignment with the organization, running like headless chickens) Environment (you are a cost center, and what matters is how much do you cost and how to save as much as possible in anything) Approach towards humans (not felling that they really care, there are good intentions but all is translated into cost) Working as a dysfunctional organization (toxic leaders are not stopped, there is a culture focused on saving cost no matter what)

Thank you for saying a few words about the year you've been working for our company. It's clear that your experience hasn't been positive: we're truly sorry to hear this. We're diligently working to build out a leadership team that effectively supports our business and our people; we're striving to create a supportive work environment where all our employees feel respected and valued and can fully contribute to our mission to make the world healthier and more sustainable through innovation. As the situations and behaviors you've observed don't align with these commitments, we recommend sharing this with your manager, HR representative or through a Speak Up concern (https://secure.ethicspoint.eu/domain/media/en/gui/100518/index.html). We follow up on all concerns raised. Thank you again for taking the time to say a few words about your experience. This is valuable to us. We wish you all the best from here on out.

Thank you for saying a few words about the years you've been working at Philips in Amsterdam. While we're glad to hear that you're satisfied with the flexibility and with the compensation offered, we of course regret that our internal structure and ways of working didn’t have a positive influence on your experience. Your feedback is valuable to us and has been noted; by understanding what is and what is not working for our employees, we can continue towards our goal of creating an efficient and collaborative work environment where we can all succeed together. If you have any specific concerns that you'd like to talk about in more detail, now or in the future, we kindly recommend bringing this to the attention of your manager or HR representative. Thank you again for your feedback. We wish you all the best from this point forward.
