Business Outlook

Pros

Great company targeted towards being market driven, focused on end users to enrich their lives, it's employees, and via sustainability our planet and society. It;s focus on being a health and well being company provides interesting growth/profit opportunities in an area contributing to the mentioned stakeholder groups.

Cons

Sometimes being a Dutch company we take too much time to discuss, to get everybody on board before making a decision. The markets served (Healthcare, Lighting, Consumer Lifestyle) force to be very cost oriented to obtain the margins which are required to berewarded by the shareholder community, this can take away some of the conditions to function more easily/comfortably and to the best of each ability.

Business Outlook

Pros

Close proximity to home. Very nice building & facilities. Close to Rt 93, easy to access

Cons

Very political, especially among middle managers. Personal advancement frequently not related to merit. Decisions often favor internal goals and needs, not customer needs. It is a European company so you have to get used to an autocratic management.
