      Scientist/Architects/Specialists should think 100 times before PIC joining

      Principal software architect
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      1. Challenging Healthcare Products. 2. Opportunity for grow with Products 3. Many employee benefits and perks.

      Cons

      1. Not a product mindset, broader vision of success- NIL, immature and very risky work culture. 2. Very unsafe place to join and survive for experienced people. Hire/Fire/Re-structure is in culture. 3. Not a reliable place to join if you have family, home loan, education loan, growing kids or any other liability. BE CAREFUL. 4. Indecisive people managers, have no respect for others.

      Thank you for saying a few words about the 3+ years you've worked for our company in Bangalore as Principal Software Architect. We're glad to hear that you were happy with the benefits that were being provided, but it's regrettable that there are several things you'd like to see changed within your former department. Your feedback and the feedback we receive from other (former) employees is very valuable to us and help us to improve as employer. It has been duly noted. We hope that you've already found (or will soon find) another position, one that is fully to your liking. Thank you again for leaving your review here and all the best in your future endeavors!

      Technologist/Architect suffer, Heaven for Managers

      Senior architect
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      1. Attractive policy, health insurance, gym, variables etc 2. work from home, sick leave etc

      Cons

      1. Its not product based but behavior is of service based. lots of politics by managers. 2. Technologist, architects, senior architects have very tough life and no job security. 3. 4 times a years reorganization happens and only technical people get fired specially Engineers, Architects and Test Architects. 4. Mismanagement at lower level is causing failing of BUs, one after another.

      Hi there, thank you for taking the time to review your former employer. We highly appreciate it that you've not only shared the things you were happy with during the time you've worked for Philips as Senior Architect, but that you've also shared the aspects that you think need to change. Of course, reorganization is definitely not something that we think lightly of. We're constantly striving for improvement, not only as manufacturer but also as employer, and your feedback is therefore very valuable to us. It will be duly noted. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts here and all the best in your future undertakings!

      Constant Reorganizing

      Senior manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      It is huge and has resources and the people are generally good and culture is usually good.

      Cons

      Leadership has no direction or vision and they are constantly re-organizing and laying of large batches of people. Then find that they needed those people to get the work done. So the work load increases for the survivors. Every two years there is a new set of executives and they take everyone down a new direction and then two years later there is a shirt in a different direction. HR has said they don't help people anymore - they just work on mass layoffs and protecting leadership.

      Hi there, thank you for saying a few words about your experience working as Senior Manager for our company in Bothell so far. Reorganizing is something that we definitely don't think lightly of and we regret that you're often being confronted with this within your department. We highly appreciate it that you've shared your honest feedback here, regarding both the aspects that you're happy with and the aspects that you'd like to see changed, and we'll make sure to duly note your advice to our management. This is of high value to us. We wish you all the best.
