      Pros

      Company is very relaxed with work hence no hard deadlines and work life balance is great. Best place to settle down.

      Cons

      Not good for a fresher/early career employee as work is on old technologies and pay is not that great.

      Hi there, thank you for sharing your thoughts on working for Philips in Bengaluru here on Glassdoor. Both your positive and constructive feedback is valuable to us. We're glad to hear that you're able to maintain a healthy balance between your work and your personal life, but of course it's regrettable that the compensation provided and the opportunities for personal growth aren't meeting your expectations. Our senior management is reading all reviews on this platform and is taking notes, but please feel free to also share your thoughts with your (HR) manager, if you haven't done this yet. Thank you again for saying a few words about your Philips experience thus far and thank you for being on board!

      Pros

      Great company with great work environment. Work quality of life is excellent. Good benefits and good vacation time.

      Cons

      Lots of change based on changing times. Your way of working will change somewhat at least every couple of years.

      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.
