Philips NV

Hiring quality verdict.

Philips completed its pivot from consumer electronics to pure-play health technology in 2023, and CEO Roy Jakobs opened the company's new global headquarters in Amsterdam in October 2025 — opened by Queen Máxima. The 64,817 FTE workforce generated €18B revenue in 2025, overwhelmingly from AI-enabled imaging systems, patient monitoring, and telehealth. Core AI engineering roles concentrate in the Image Guided Therapy and Diagnostic Imaging divisions in Best (North Brabant) and Cambridge (US); the Amsterdam HQ holds product management and commercial leadership rather than primary R&D. Compensation for AI scientists and engineers runs €85K–€145K — below frontier AI labs but structured with meaningful mission proximity in clinical AI.
