Philips reviews

The last few years, Philips hasn't been consistent in its strategy. Focus changes from day to day, inconsistent decisions etc. It says that it wants to 'Accelerate' and work like a FMCG company, but often still puts technology before consumer insights or doesn't follow thru. The company doesn't manage to retain many of those that came from FMCG.

MANAGEMENT - Midelevel manager recieve NO training and should not be managing people. A design competency should be open to new ideas, this manager has no respect for his team, or his colleagues. He was hired to be a bulldog and he is one. It's a shame he ruins it for everyone. CULTURE - The environment is horrifying CHANGE - They are to slow to adapt to a modern work environment. OPPORTUNITY - It takes years to get promoted and they are penny pinchers. Get the most salary coming in the door.
