Pros

The work life balance is pretty good; No bossy manager, everyone is very supportive, Ample family time and personal life balance Also there is decent hike every year; Even someone with low performance would also get 5-6% ; Although promotion takes 4 years, you can get a progression in 2 years. which is like a half promotion and you get around 15-20% hike ; Leaves are good. If you want to learn something on your own then also you get support

Cons

No Decent project with latest tech; whatever little projects are there they are still using the legacy technology; for eg we are still writing data pipelines on Eclipse Java,; things take a long time to settle and come into action Worst management decision making basically you dont get any good work; this is true across the board Even RnD team is filling out excel sheets

Pros

Ok pay, but nothing to brag about

Cons

Your manager really makes or breaks you. If you have a manager that is only looking out for himself and how he looks in front of others, you’re gonna have a rough time. If your 1:1s only consist of status report, you need to plan for yourself. If he gives you lots of praise during the year, then come performance review time, he apologizes a lot for giving you just an adequate score instead of stellar performance, you’re also gonna have a bad time. My advice is choose another place to work for unless you have nothing to pay the bills. I didn’t meet that many people there that inspired me. Every survey they send out can be traced back to you.

Thank you for your review. It's clear that your Philips experience has not been positive. We regret to hear how you felt regarding the contact with your manager during your time at Philips. If you've experienced behaviour that you believe wasn't consistent with our General Business Principles or our Behaviors, then we hope that we can encourage you to share your story via our Ethics line, so an investigation can be opened: https://secure.ethicspoint.eu/domain/media/en/gui/100518/index.html. Your comments will be noted either way: upper management is also active here on Glassdoor and is reading all reviews. Wishing you all the best with your future career endeavors.
