Philips overall is a great place to work. There are women in leadership roles and I feel great opportunity for the future of my own career.

Not a lot of opprotunity for someone to start entry level. All the positions are for Sr. level. Over all great, talented, and easy going people to work with.

Philips recently began offering two weeks of paid parental leave, which is almost unheard of where I live! I also feel that the flexible work environment and easygoing management make it much less stressful and gives employees a better work-life balance than anywhere else I have worked or even applied to.

Opportunities are not publicly posted, so people are put into positions based on their buddies. I tried to get a professional women's group going like they have at the corporate level and when our general manager and one senior manager was a woman, I convinced them to purchase a table of 10 for some of our women employees to attend the Texas Conference for Women. Now there are no managers at all who are women, nor supervisors. Casual sexism is rampant and not even aware of the environment it creates for women who are aware they are treated differently than their male counter parts. I actually had to tell my boss to 'stop shushing me' because he has a bad habit of holding up his hand and silencing women when ideas or solutions are asked for. Only men are actively listened to. I resigned after get a job at another company making 20% more who values my skills.

Overall a good employer. However, the company is in need of younger people, and because of the older demographic there are far more men than women. Diversity could be improved, but I think they recognize this and want to improve.

Promotional culture is young and male. Female executives are only from outside and little to no propmotional opportunities within.

Philips is a great place to work but definitely has been better for working parents than younger fresh grads. Very stimulating projects to work on and a lot of opportunity to explore other areas. Openness to move to other locations is almost a requirement for fast growth.

Women were not well represented in executive leadership when I started a few years ago - but I have seen a trend in the last year or two of more women being promoted to leadership positions. The women who are in leadership positions seem to be as trusted and as respected as their male peers, which is not traditional to American culture, but it makes me optimistic that my chances to grow with the company are as good as any of my peers, regardless of gender.

Philips does provide a lot of opportunities for advancement and training. Depending on the department there is a good chance of telecommuting. It could do better in promoting women to upper management but overall it is a fantastic company and I highly recommend it.

It is still not possible to have it all at Philips. Certain management positions are clearly reserved for men and women are only allowed to grow up to a certain point.
