      Pros

      Salary comes on time every month. Good employee benefits and perks. Good work-life balance. Leave policy is good, sick leaves are not limited.

      Cons

      Lot of politics and micromanagement. Community based favourism. Micromanagement has led to exodus but still upper management doesn't care. Managers demean and humiliate you for the smallest of issues and doubts. Getting shouted on is quite normal. This leads to self doubt and demotivating. The environment is very depressing. No proper guidance for freshers. No mentor to help you. They expect you to learn and do everything, from full stack development to testing. HRs are there just for namesake. Even after complaining about issues multiple times, they literally wouldn't do anything about it. When asked for follow up they would just put the blame back on you. Agile process is also just there for namesake. No improvement actions are taken. Senior management is very arrogant and they just repeat the cycle of blaming everything on the development team.

      Pros

      Philips still has good people, meaningful healthcare technology, and a strong brand name. Many employees care deeply about the customers, the products, and doing quality work.

      Cons

      The company culture has gone downhill. Management has become increasingly reliant on spreadsheet-driven decision making that often has little connection to real field conditions, employee workload, or customer impact. Priorities and goals change constantly, creating a desperate, reactive environment where employees are not given enough time to adjust before leadership shifts direction again. Morale suffers because teams are expected to execute against moving targets while leadership treats unrealistic planning as an execution problem.
