Pros

It was a nice company, but so many FDA problems. The problem was too big to be solved. So shut down the whole facility and move business oversea, very sad.

Cons

yearly performance review is based on the managers preference.

Pros

Philips is a great company. Work-life balance is great and the culture is employee friendly.

Cons

Management at the top has become disconnected from reality. The Quality and Regulatory management is more concerned with "diversity" than with the tremendous quality and regulatory failures of the last many years that are. The CEO level that should be driving compliance refuses to address the regulatory management weakness. If this doesn't change immediately, this company is doomed.

Pros

Good physical environment. Work from home given during pandemic time.

Cons

All the policies are in paper only. Mandatory trainings insist to bring to the attention of the higher official if there any misbehavior of employees, but the worst scenario is misbehavior of managers are not listened by the higher officials and not even the HR. HR is having good rapport with the management team, that is taken as advantage by the managers and doing all the politics, retaliation, misbehavior, unfair treatment of employees, etc. Employees are cornered for troughing out of the company if the employee does not tolerate all such misbehaviors of managers. HR is useless. No respect to the employees. Seen many employees left their job without even getting other Job, all because of these issues. Regarding work culture - it is worst than a government office. Undefined process structure. No relevancy between the qualification and work. All the qualifications and experiences thrown to the dust bin. Experienced and professionally qualified person is equal to a fresher with UG qualification. Politics Politics Politics....... During appointment HR will say that employees are treated good but when we join to the team, work-life balance is not considered. If you are perusing higher studies, you will not get leave for your examinations. Many employees studying higher studies, left the job here as this place is not fit for them. Unorganized night duties. Work load is not balanced. You can not raise any of these issues to your manager nor with HR. Never spoil your life going there.

We appreciate it that you've taken the time to tell about the 6+ years you've been working for our company in Chennai. It's clear that these have not been positive years for you: we regret to hear how you've been experiencing the (work) culture at Philips and that you do not feel heard or helped by the HR team. We take the matters you describe seriously; our management is active here on Glassdoor as well and is taking notes. We hope that we can encourage you to also share your concerns via our Ethics line, which you can find here: https://secure.ethicspoint.eu/domain/media/en/gui/100518/report.html. We wish you all the best from here on out.
