Pros

Good number of leaves and employee discount on select Philips items

Cons

Working at Philips India often feels like being in the engine room of a massive cruise ship. While colleagues in the EU seem to enjoy a carefree fine dining experience, we, in the engine room, bear the brunt of project delays, working tirelessly on weekends and late nights. The result? Sometimes just a pat on the back and empty congratulatory messages. Additionally, the systems we work with can be frustratingly slow and prone to breakdowns during critical tasks. If you're seeking an environment that challenges your patience and potentially hampers your career growth, Philips India might be the right place for you.

Thank you for taking the time to write this review. It's clear that your Philips experience has not been positive. We're sorry to hear that you're not receiving the level of recognition you had hoped for for your hard work and that you don't find the systems you're working with to always function optimal. It's our aim to provide our people with a rewarding career experience and it's regrettable to hear that the opportunities at Philips in Bengaluru aren't meeting your expectations. Your feedback will be noted; our management is closely monitoring all reviews here on Glassdoor and is listening, but please feel free to share your thoughts with your (HR) manager as well (if you haven't done this yet). We wish you all the best moving forward.

Pros

A large company with a well-established business model.

Cons

Tons of work and little pay. It seems selective about who gets paid fairly and who doesn't. Lots of very racist employees, especially from Europe and the USA. HR is completely useless to end the cycle.

Pros

Good perks, food, car lease scheme etc.

Cons

Toxic work culture in Philips GBS, office politics, even if you generate multi million dollar value to Philips business, you will be rated as a poor performer since you don't contribute to GBS back office. GBS Analytics (GDMA) especially is a crap and they never do real analytics rather they don't let you perform advanced analytics. Performance management is pathetic. They set a performance target of 300k savings for a manager handling 10-20 people and they also set 200k for one manager who doesn't manage a team. Poor mathematics.
