Philips reviews

Salaries are ~$50K below high-tech sector and benefits are few and far between. A lot of technical debt and legacy code. You will spend A LOT of time looking at 20 year old code. Nothing particularly groundbreaking going on from a high-tech perspective. If you're motivated by new software technologies you will find few at Philips. Philips values their optimizers (people who work with Ultrasound as a science and they are usually PhDs). They are core to the company while others are not held in as high regard. Those outside the core group will likely feel very disconnected from customers as well as the ultrasound product. In 5 years, I saw maybe 3 live scanning sessions and never once visited a customer site/talked with a customer. Ultrasound is a class II regulated medical device. As a result there is a lot of paperwork and regulation to follow throughout development. This will feel like a snail's pace for anyone coming from high-tech. Not a great place to grow your career unless you want to work in health-tech.

A lot. We are all IIT/ NID/Shrishti grads in the India studio, proven in design knowledge and industry experience. The leadership in the design studio however is run by favoritism . Anyone looking to apply to the design group here has to cautious that attrition has gone through the roof in the last 6 months...16 people resigned in the last 6 months- for a number to quote. The culture is stifling, impenetrable coz of politics, opposite of creativity and encourager of nepotism. Unless the design leadership in India changes, don't join Philips. I truly regret that a brilliant organisation is facing these problems and is unable to come to know of these problems.
