Can pick up anything we want and work on it in some teams. And the health cover is good. Work life balance is also quite good. We can change the team without much hassle after 2 years in a team

Dislikes

In some teams there is quite a bit of politics. And workload depends on the team also.

Dislikes

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 years and thattoo 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

There are so many good things about this company. The work culture in this company is second to none. Philips is one of the big fish in the healthcare industry, which means you get ample opportunities to learn and grow in the healthcare domain. If you are somebody who likes to or don't mind working in the healthcare domain and wishes for a good work life balance, then Philips is one such company for you....Read More

Dislikes

There are few things which I did not find appealing during my tenure in Philips. Here most of the departments are lead by folks who are basically from a previous IT generation. So, bringing in the latest changes and technologies out in the market can become tedious at times. Because of the general relaxed work culture of the company, I felt people are exploiting it a bit. You will find so many technically moderate or even below average people here compared to technically sound people. Bad leadership, overly relaxed culture and poor financial perks (increments) has lead to good talents leaving the firm in recent times....Read More
