Pros

Good work-life balance with good benifits

Cons

The new Philips is completely different from the original company. It does not believe in innovation. After spending a decade in the company i just saw CEO only interested in selling business units every year to show profit and please investors by acquiring exciting businesses and rebranding them Philips (No innovation). Internally the situation is like Nokia as multiple teams are competing and each unit has there own agenda. The same things are done again and again using different technology with no outcome.

Pros

You will have, if you have recruited under a revenue making business unit. Otherwise with my personal experience, I do not see any so far .

Cons

1. Health care benefits has taken downtrodden path, no body cares here including the insurance team(1 person )/HR team / Manager, even if your ask is 100% eligible. You are at the mercy of insurance provider, to claim what you are eligible for. 2. As I said, if you are getting hired under Informatics/ R&D division, better stay away or prefer not to join, you will not bear up with the uncertainties they bring to you, in terms of job security. Also so far, I have seen only closing of many units recently in Bangalore. It might seem I have shoot out my frustration, but its not. I bet anyone can disapprove here. This was my dream company to work for 1 year back, but now really I want to come out of my dreams for a good future.
