Pros

Good Teamates. Thats it! No other Pros!

Cons

Even after leaving Philips HR and payroll department are not sending me my Payslips. It's been one month since I have asked them. This kind of culture is very bad! I am not sure what to do to get my own payslips now!

Philips Response

Hi there, thank you for taking the time to share your experiences here. We regret hearing you haven't received all of your payslips yet, and we can imagine that must be disconcerting. We do advise contacting your HR department again to have them correct this at their earliest opportunity. Please know that upper management is active on this platform too, so your feedback won't go unnoticed. Despite this repercussion, we wish you all the best and a fruitful career.
