Thank you for saying a few words about the 2+ years you've been working for Philips in Bangalore. We're glad to hear that you're keen on the opportunities offered and you find our company a good employer. It's regrettable that finding a good work/life balance has been challenging for you. We completely understand that our people have a life outside work too. We hope that we can encourage you to share this with your (HR) manager, to see how things could be improved. Either way: our management also reads all reviews here on Glassdoor, so your comments definitely won't escape their attention. Thanks for being on board!

Pros

Philips still has good people, meaningful healthcare technology, and a strong brand name. Many employees care deeply about the customers, the products, and doing quality work.

Cons

The company culture has gone downhill. Management has become increasingly reliant on spreadsheet-driven decision making that often has little connection to real field conditions, employee workload, or customer impact. Priorities and goals change constantly, creating a desperate, reactive environment where employees are not given enough time to adjust before leadership shifts direction again. Morale suffers because teams are expected to execute against moving targets while leadership treats unrealistic planning as an execution problem.
