Hi there, we appreciate it that you've decided to say a few words about the 4+ years you've been working for Philips in Bangalore. We're happy to read that your position as Software Engineer allows you to maintain a good work/life balance (we of course understand that our people have a life outside work too) and that working for us has so far been an educational experience. We hope that we can encourage you to share your thoughts regarding the compensation with your (HR) manager, if you haven't done this yet. Either way: our management also reads all reviews here on Glassdoor and will make sure that your feedback is noted. Thank you for your review and thank you for being on board!

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.
