Pros

pros: 1. Open culture wihtin BU, but its fadding slowly 2. Reputed name

Cons

cons: 1. Vaccination- when companies like infosys gives vaccication for free. Why cant Philips being health care compnay is charging ?? 2. No work-life balance Too much work - After managment has changed and corona, there is too much wrk as if its service based company. Worked til 1pm sometimes 2pm , even weekend was not spared. Even after doing work by stretching what is the hike 5%?? really? 3. Policies changed - After new managment took office almost everthing is changed mobile remeburment(10K) - earlier present - now removed fitness/wearables(20k) - earlier present - now removed yearly outing(company provides 10k) - earlier present - now removed 4. Covid home office setup(10k was provided, to claim 10k u hv to purchase 13k dont u think tat these guys should be WALLSTREET BROKERS) - earlier was told even ups was covered as rembuirement but, when its bought policy makers said ONLY FOR LAPTOP UPS. I means who will buy only laptop ups ??? 5. Tranport - This is big issue. earlier its was just 1600 rupees, after managment change it was increased to 3600 rupees. Dont know what is fate of employeeds after corona like this many polcies changed 5. So if u get offer. Dont think its product based company n join. Think tat u will working for 12-16 hours keep this in mind ask salary accordingly

Pros

The people in non- upper management roles that work there are fantastic. Great sense of community onsite and the culture champions are consistently looking for ways to make work life better.

Cons

Very poor communication on the strategy for the business unit. Leadership publicly promotes innovation and new ideas to be presented but then those ideas are shot down or penalized in private by current upper management. The business unit leadership says that don't want excuses for project delays but will then decide to do 3 major layoffs in the first two quarters with no transition plan, no support for gap in resources and no expectations to delayed progress.
