• Housing compensation, in case of relocating to the vicinity of the office, €300,- net if location is in the vicinity of Amsterdam, €255,- net for all other Philips locations.
• To be eligible, your usual home‑work travel distance needs to be more than 50 km or 1.5 hours of travel time (one way).
• Afterwards, you need to provide the rental contract from your (new) landlord.
• Travel compensation, if you are not eligible for a free public transport (OV chipkaart - student travel product); you can receive max. €192,- net depending on your location.
• Paid holidays per internship term.

Company Background

• We are a health technology company. We built our entire company around the belief that every human matters, and we won't stop until everybody everywhere has access to the quality healthcare that we all deserve.
