Philips GBH NO Job Security

Pros

Work From Home. Nothing much other than that.

Cons

No Job Security, There will always be a sense of Job threat with everyone there right from top management in GBH till the lower level. The Netherlands (NL) leadership team is very aggressive but they plan without clarity of thoughts. "Do not want to quote any examples here". Biased, The Management forms perception very soon about the employee and tries to corner and cutoff as early as possible. Chennai Philips GBH is completely in hands of NL Management. The Top Management in GBH hears only the tune of NL and they have very less power to cover the Chennai Employees. Salary part, every year the GBH is making some changes and have removed some additional benefits which were given as out of CTC.

Hello, and thank you for sharing your honest view from your experience. It is unfortunate to hear you feel left out as a division, and that you feel there is not much happening in regards to improvement. Our management also reads these pages, so the positive here is that they will be able to refer to your feedback to become better. I do hope your sentiment turns around for the better this way eventually. Thanks for being on board with us!

Pros

Very ethical company that allows successful people to continue in their roles

Cons

They do not promote a culture of growth. Many times when a new (higher level) position is created they have already selected their candidate and there is a feeling that they will not support career advancement

Pros

Good work content - Depends a lot on the group you join and your boss though. I had both good and bad experiences in the last 7 years.

Cons

Location - It is in the heart of the traffic jam! Office politics - Especially by old-timers with no skills/knowledge! Experience within in Philips decides who is right/wrong and not what is really right/wrong People managers - especially old timers - only care about headcount. If they get their way (and most of the time they do) they would get 9 men to produce a baby in 1 month only to realize that it is not a real baby and then they blame the 9 men for it!
