Thank you for saying a few words about the years you've worked for our company in Bengaluru. We're very sorry to hear that you haven't had positive experiences with the management and your colleagues and that you've faced difficulties with maintaining a healthy work/life balance. We of course also regret to hear that the opportunities for growth and the compensation offered didn't meet your expectations. Your feedback is valuable to us and has been duly noted, but as you've observed behavior that definitely doesn't reflect the healthy and supportive culture we're striving for at Philips, we hope that we can encourage you to submit a report via our Ethics line, so this can be investigated thoroughly: https://secure.ethicspoint.eu/domain/media/en/gui/100518/index.html. We follow up on all concerns raised. Thank you again for taking the time to write this review: it's highly appreciated. We wish you all the best from here on out.

Great company with great work environment. Work quality of life is excellent. Good benefits and good vacation time.

Lots of change based on changing times. Your way of working will change somewhat at least every couple of years.

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.
