Pros

The best part of Philips is the ability to work on developing great products to help other people.

Cons

Too many distinct cultures, processess and business systems glued together from a company made up from many aquisitions. Phiips is like a melting pot, while it makes for great diversity there is a real lack of a single smoothly run orgainzation.

Paralyzed by a culture of risk-aversion

Business Outlook

Pros

A global company with good technology, good people and good benefits. They support self-development through internal training classes. Unfortunately the talent is wasted because Philips fosters a culture of consensus. Consensus is good but Philips has taken it to a level that paralyzes and stifles the talent that can help Philips become the industry leader.

Cons

In 2 years, I have witnessed 3 reorganizations in one department. Our product development lifecycle process is longer than that. Constantly reorganizing singles reactionary leadership not strategic leadership. The multiple reorganizations have led to a lot of political wrangling and fulfillment of personal agendas that have not benefitted the company. The business group is the only one that is profitable but it could be 4 or 5 times as profitable. The business unit is too risk averse; most decisions are done by committee which increases the length of time to develop an action plan and implement it. Strong decisive leadership is not encouraged.
