Good Culture, HR policies, car lease scheme is just awesome, unlimited sick leave, Learning opportunities, Internal Movement Opportunity, Global mindset. Work pressure is low, global connect can lead to longer working hours but it's flexible, No in-out attendance monitoring. Can stay here for long term. Working depends on your Manager, My manager has been extremely supportive and focuses on overall employees growth.

...ery less work on NPI and advanced development. Core Tech folks can stay away. Huge pay disparity between similar experience employees. Dept to Dept wise also too much variation. Grading system is unclear. New Jargon of "Diversity" candidates -promoting females for specific roles. This is contrasting to equal opportunity employer. Recent growth outlook and recalls have damaged brand reputation badly.

...ars 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.

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.
