      STAY AWAY from Philips

      Pros

      Nice friendly colleagues ready to jelp out to get projects going. Also flexible. Nothing else good to add.

      Cons

      I've never come across such a poor employer as Philips. This company is going downhill fast. Also lacks compassion. Unprofessional and irresponsible HR who shys away from intimidating and challenging situations. Does not care whatsoever to listen to employees. Same goes for the management team in Amsterdam. Poor leadership management and lack of direction. Management makes no effort to back up employees instead a pushover. Also makes no effort to support employees. Cumbersome processes. Reactive company and very slow to react to market. Care more about what is done and not appreciative of how it's done. Alot of destructing going on and jobs may be taken away in advance without proposing a good package, unappreciative of enployees' year of contribution.

      Not so great at Philips Hong Kong

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Office is in a nice location when it's sunny If you are a HK local, this place may be better for you.

      Cons

      There is a high turn over, and recently many of the European colleagues have left the company. HR is very poor, and in most cases are very unhelpful. Team culture is quite low, especially if you do not speak Cantonese, it can take a very long time for people to work well with you. It is very hard to progress in your career once you are placed in a "grade" so make sure you feel you are going into a position that fits (with a bit of a stretch) for you to keep your job interesting and to grow.

      Reasonable Salary, Good & fun peers but lack conviction to be a winner

      Senior manager

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Reasonable to good salary, peers are usually fun and cooperative. Reasonable work life balance if your boss is open.

      Cons

      Too many changes and restructuring cause the employees to become lost in what the company is trying to achieve. Good ambition but do not have the drive/cash to invest to win against competition. Too many cuts to save a buck. Non-performers are too often tolerated.
