      Stay Away For Your Own Good - Software Engineer Philips Employee Review

      Pros

      Medical company that actually does something significant for the world. Convenient hours. Easy to slack off if that is your thing.

      Cons

      - Management in constant fire-extinguishing mode. - Can't make a difference based on data or engineering or buisness, only based on politics. - Over 25 people left in the past 3 months, and more to come. - Low salaries - Very obvious "everyone is replacable" mentality - Engineering descisions made by high management, disregarding the engineers. - Very low inter and intra team colaboration despite efforts by good people, due to toxic environment - No RSU or options.

      Thank you for leaving your review on Glassdoor. We're sorry to hear that you're far from keen on working for Philips in Tel-Aviv-Yafo as Software Engineer and that there are quite some things you're missing or that you'd like to see changed within your department. The mentality you describe does not sound like the mentality we strive for at Philips. Have you already discussed your experiences with your HR manager? If not, then we hope we can encourage you to. Your thoughts will be duly noted either way: our management is also active on this platform and not one review escapes their attention. Thank you again for sharing your experience and feedback, it's highly appreciated. We wish you all the best moving forward.

      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.
