Pros

The work culture is very good depending on the team. A lot of new learnings.

Cons

No work-life balance. Management is not good, the manager is supporting specific people always. No proper management. A lot of process needs to follow like college, in fact, school is far better than this, and lot of internal politics. A lot of work pressure. No professional managers. There was no proper planning meetings and deadline. etc. There were no proper tools to raise the ticket for any concern, for each thing they had different tools and no support from anyone. Giving more preference to interns.

Hi, thank you for sharing your review with us. It's unfortunate to hear your Philips experience hasn't been ideal so far. A good work life balance is very important, and we recommend that you schedule a meeting with your Manager or HR Representative as to address any gaps. Next to that, our upper Management is also active on here, and your points of improvement will be taken into account. Wishing you all the best with your career.

Pros

The people in non- upper management roles that work there are fantastic. Great sense of community onsite and the culture champions are consistently looking for ways to make work life better.

Cons

Very poor communication on the strategy for the business unit. Leadership publicly promotes innovation and new ideas to be presented but then those ideas are shot down or penalized in private by current upper management. The business unit leadership says that don't want excuses for project delays but will then decide to do 3 major layoffs in the first two quarters with no transition plan, no support for gap in resources and no expectations to delayed progress.
