Philips Consumer Lifestyle: Overall satisfying with lots of opportunities for self-development & choosing your own path

Senior marketing manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Very international - lots of opportunities to learn and grow - every possible role and team to choose from (well you still need to aply and get it, but the choice/opportunity is there) - clear CAO, regular salary increases, 25 days of holidays + possibility to purchase an extra 20!!! - flexibility to work from home - new set of support ideas/possibilities for working mothers (i.e. specific coaching and groups after return from maternity leave)

Cons

- very matrixed organization, often very political - can be very slow at times - it may take so long to take a decision and execute something that by the time you are ready to execute that might no longer be a valid path and then you are not allowed to adjust decision to new conditions - working mothers support group and activities can at times be just a beautiful marketing trick: this year only at least 5 woman I personally knew were let go upon return from maternity leave - ever after Andrea Ragnetti and it's management team left, consumer has been the center of the company (reflected by Net Promoter Score losing focus)

Pros

Great place for learning and not so much pressure

Cons

Low salary. Minimum career opportunity, particularly for nondutch and non-european. Many executive positions are held non-dutch. But it is almost impossible for non-dutch to go from low level to mid level position.
