As said, it depends on the manager a lot. So the Promotions and Appraisal were far and few. Work-Life Balance is good. Job security.

Dislikes

Some level of politics, ( but its okay, as i dont give a shit, as long as i am getting good money ) Some gets promotion left and right some doesnt, because of above reason. Certain groups doesnt have goodskill development plans. They wont promote you, but hire people from outside on higher packages, who will come to you to get the things done....Read More

This review is for IBE department and Philips as a whole in India. 1. DO NOT JOIN IF YOU ARE STARTING YOUR CAREER. If you did join the company try to see opportunities outside ASAP. 2. Appraisal do not depend on how you perform. It’s dependent on your manager and the office politics. 1st promotion you get is after 2.5</mark> years and that too a mere 12% increase in your basic 3. The environment is such that you would not want to grow; the peers are not the brightest, the management is bad(they are oldies) 4. The worst department to work in is EIS - IBE. The work is on a proprietary software which translates to 0 yrs of experience in your resume. The colleagues aren’t aware of the newer technologies that are there in the market. Basically they don’t want to work in uncomfortable environment thus the title dinosaurs is apt for them. Management and leaders in IBE are dumb/incompetent and do not care about your progression in the organisation. 5. I was there for 3+ years and in all this time I have never seen profits come to the business 6. The Annual incentive part of your salary is never paid in full, maximum you’ll get is 90%. 7. People here know that there job is secure hence the ‘govt job’ mentality is there. Lastly if you’re joining, negotiate your salary so that you can live the next 2 years in the org and leave. Now on the facilities: 1. There is no gymnasium of Philips as such. It is a shared room with equipments between NXP and Philips. 2. No free food not even snacks or beverages. You need to buy it using Sodexo card. And the food isn’t that great. Only thing good was the biryani. 3. No cab facility 4. The company policies regarding employees have gotten worse and worse since new CEO was appointed 5. Team outings were a part of every BU but has stopped since 2019. Final words - be wise and look for something else....Read More
