      Developing employees to take their skills elsewhere.

      Pros

      Amazing skills development programs, and management are great facilitators of these programs. Friendly culture, professional colleagues.

      Cons

      After developing your skills, the company will reassign you to the role you trained for. Which provides experience, without any role changes or compensation increases. I ended up doing a role that would pay 20% more for almost an entire year, while management decided whether to promote me. After some time they eventually did. I am now in the middle of round two of this same process, while my colleagues are finding employment elsewhere. Only way to be fairly compensated is to take the skills that Philips helped develop, to another employer.

      Pros

      Employee friendly policies. Unlimited sick leaves

      Cons

      1.To use employee friendly policies Manager has to agree 2. Micro management 3. If you are android or iOS developer please don’t join as opportunities for growth is very limited. 4. Don’t seek any help from HR . As they are just puppets of managers. If you approach hr for help , managers will make life hell. 5. Favouritism/ biased for few favourite employees. I can just go on and on with con’s list .

      Hi there, thank you for taking the time to share your experience working for our company so far. It's good to hear that you're happy with the policies within your department, but it's a pity that you'd like quite some aspects to be improved and that you don't feel like your points of improvement are being heard. Our management is active here on Glassdoor as well, so these points will definitely be noted. We wish you all the best.
