Philips Innovation Campus Software Technologist 2 Reviews

Provides very good job security, work life balance depends purely in the project. Philips health insurance policy is good but offcourse not the best. They do provide various options to include your family and if you can allocate your points evenly then you will have points left to spare for non insurance benefits such personal development etc. Compensation like most companies is average and if you raise your voice and if you are lucky they try to match your pay according to market standards. Dont have very high expectations on the package because again they have a variable component. The office campus is good with many cafeteria options people are good and helpful....Read More

I am not going to speak about compensation here because definitely you all know and if you attend interview you will have an idea about the compensation they can provide. Again please don't have very high expectations like most of us are bagging offers now a days. 1) Philips doesn't follow any organisation process of documenting their products. 2) Tasy team - this team has presence in India and Brazil, however the work delegated to India team requires very minimal technical skills. You should have knowledge on plsql. 3) Brazil is the supreme team and does all the innovation. So your designation or work will be to just integrate their concepts nothing more. 4) talking of Tasy again the UI is build on angularjs older version and again you won't have to apply any brains here because you will not code or write any component. Just integrate and voila! 5) Tasy team- they have invented their own Agile process. So I think you can pretty well guess what I mean. 6) don't expect any documentation because they won't be able to provide. 7) forget about unit test cases or LDAP concepts, they are still working on it. Basically it's trying to become a tech industry with the name innovation. 8) internal switch requires managers approval which you will never get unless manager is given a notice to dissolve the team. 9) micromanagement in Tasy team not sure about others. 10) if you work on defect tickets then you have to document who introduced the defect and on what date. 11)Tasy - defect reason raised will require a translator unless you are fluent in Portuguese. 12) some projects require late night support. 13) not sure about other team but managers(Tasy) are inexperienced here and sometimes I see architect reports to manager. Analyst becomes lead and technologist 2 is working under analyst. Very different and complex to understand your job role. they claim flat structure but hierarchy and commanding is still persistent. Agile/scaled agile etc defination has been redefined....Read More

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...Read More

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

Philips as a brand. It’s a legacy but gradually losing the value and culture mostly because not able to pick good leads at all levels! Just pushing your old people just because they were there since long seems like reservation not meritocracy! Deserving people are being targeted by old people for their own survival!

Dislikes

Old people there may not let you do new things by any wired excuse! They just want to there in a comfort zone and wants all to be in same zone so no one look smarter than them! They are the reason of company downfall and they don’t want this message to reflect on top ! They may target you and push you back if you try to be more smarter than them. One way feedback ! Your 100% future depends on your manager! No else will listen to you again him...Read More
