Thank you for saying a few words about the 2+ years you've been working for Philips in Bangalore. We're glad to hear that you're keen on the opportunities offered and you find our company a good employer. It's regrettable that finding a good work/life balance has been challenging for you. We completely understand that our people have a life outside work too. We hope that we can encourage you to share this with your (HR) manager, to see how things could be improved. Either way: our management also reads all reviews here on Glassdoor, so your comments definitely won't escape their attention. Thanks for being on board!

Pros

- Easy commute if you live north of Seattle/Bellevue - Decent cafeteria - Decent compensation

Cons

- The level of apathy amongst colleagues is off the charts. Many people are simply coasting and collecting a paycheck. When you try to be a team player and pick up the slack, you simply become a target for blame. - Due to the extremely lax "return to office" policy, the office often feels quite empty when there is plenty of work to be done. Being onsite M-F often leads to more work with little support. - There is a culture of public shaming, with several meetings every week dedicated to project leads targeting individuals to make up for their own lack of technical understanding.
