      Pros

      Leave policy, Nothing to work.

      Cons

      Old Technology stack, Legacy product, No new development work. Maintenance and support. Policies are not employee-centric, and HR doesn't have the common sense to talk with employees. Managers and HR don't understand the personal problems of employees. Some times back Philips was a good product development company, but since 2018 they started hiring people from service-based companies and they are spoiling culture. This thing I had heard from a few of my Linked in connections, saw a few reviews on glassdoor and observed while working here. The most important thing I experienced when I was serving a notice period. I strongly do not recommend joining Philips if you are willing to learn and grow in your career and if you are looking for a work-life balance.

      Pros

      The people in non- upper management roles that work there are fantastic. Great sense of community onsite and the culture champions are consistently looking for ways to make work life better.

      Cons

      Very poor communication on the strategy for the business unit. Leadership publicly promotes innovation and new ideas to be presented but then those ideas are shot down or penalized in private by current upper management. The business unit leadership says that don't want excuses for project delays but will then decide to do 3 major layoffs in the first two quarters with no transition plan, no support for gap in resources and no expectations to delayed progress.
