Pros

Philips offers variety of opportunities in system engineering domain. They work very closely with system engineering principles. I started my career here as a fresher and I can say that it’s great place to start your career. One can meet his/her career goals in Philips if required actions taken and required attitude shown. Philips has great work life balance. On salary side, Philips provides decent salary.

Cons

In recent times there are lot many organisational changes. Many leaders left the organisation. So Philips is facing a bit of friction. Also, some of the businesses are facing backlash from market on patient safety aspects. This has resulted into reducing the workforce in western countries and also affected the salary hikes and bonuses.
