Philips "Senior Management" Reviews

Likes

There is nothing good about working in Philips. Check dislikes better you decide to join Philips. The recent attrition rates is too high and recognition is given only to few.

Dislikes

Management needs a complete reformance as they have started micro management and this will never work. All the US counterpart has been moved to India which means respect which used to be recieved is no more available to you but only Indian politics.

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 that too a mere 12% increase in your basic 3. <mark style="background-color: #fff5e4;">The environment is such that you would not want to grow; the peers are not the brightest, the management is bad(they are oldies) </mark> 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

Compensation is decent and comparable to the industry standard. The company has a lot of engineers who are long timers and have a lot of in-depth experience. So,

Dislikes

There are too many managers and a lot of time is wasted on giving status updates. Time to do productive work is very less in this environment.

Work is good enough to learn from technical perspective.

Dislikes

People are good on ground floor as long as we talk about management it's worse they don't appreciate talented people. Slave type people are more appropriated their who can say yes or no only. Your thoughts has zero value their.

Likes

Big MNC... Deep pockets... They pay you well and there is relatively less work pressure... Work from home.. No fixed timings.. No tracking. They give you some work and leave you alone. Up to individual work ethics to see a project to completion or spin loops to get away from doing anything

Dislikes

No job security. India is the donkey work hub. No one in the leadership team has any authority or any idea on what's going on. Work flows from NL or US and they may decide at any point that they don't want work with Indian people and then entire teams are laid off. Reorg happens every 6 mnths. You could join as a head and after 6mnths you are probably working hand on on some task unrelated to what you were hired for. Policies all confused... Basically India org is a compleye mess and is only managing under a strong brand name....Read More

Almost an Indian government setup. You come and go as you please and if you feel like working then great else you can simply do what you like... No one is anyways looking and no one in any case has any idea of what the plan is.
