Bad work-life balance

Pros

Very smart team and great projects

Cons

No respect for work-life balance Extremely frugal company in all the sens of the word - all social event always held on workers time never company time (BBQ, Team event, team lunch/dinners,...) Also the senior leadership team is leaving the company at a very face pace in the past 2 months

Thank you for providing us with a review and for being part of our team for that long. It’s unfortunate to hear about how you’ve experienced the work/life balance. We do move in a dynamic fast paced market. And being part of that could of course be challenging. We always hope to make sure that our hard working employees do get enough spare time besides the good work that they do with us. That’s definitely valued feedback. It’s good to hear that you did enjoy the salary and the benefits whilst working for us. That should always be a part of the earlier mentioned dynamic and fast paced market. Thank you once more for your work with us for over a decade. We do wish you all the best with your future endeavors.

Pros

Company car, great 401k, decent medical.

Cons

There is such a lack of qualified senior management to make key decisions, high turnover, clueless project managers, and the ones that do the least work are most always promoted.

Hi there, first of all we want to thank you for your feedback. We regret seeing that you won’t recommend Philips as an employer, but your feedback helps us to improve on this. Working in an environment with a high turnover in senior management can be challenging, we fully agree with you that we are working with, and for, real people, so this is something we should work on together. Since we get the feeling you’re currently not fully satisfied in your job, we recommend you to have a conversation with your (HR) manager addressing these issues. We hope we can improve the current situation together with you, and work towards a great future together.
