Process and documentation oriented. Too much documentation for everything. Lot of quality control. Less hike, depending on team and project. Tight deadlines. Unrealistic annual targets to make more profit to stay in market. Poor work life balance and also depends on team and project.

Thank you for taking the time to share the aspects you're satisfied with at Philips in Bengaluru and to share what you'd like to see changed. It's nice to hear that you consider the learning opportunities and the option to work from home a plus. Of course, we find it a pity to hear that it's difficult for you to maintain a good work/life balance, that the salary increase isn't meeting your expectations and that you think too much focus lies on processes and documentation. We're always striving for improvement, also as employer, and will make sure that your points of feedback are noted. We hope that, if you haven't done this yet, we can encourage you to schedule a meeting with your manager and/or HR representative, to see what changes can be made to ensure a healthier work/life balance. Thank you again for writing this review. We wish you all the best from this point forward.

Thank you for this review.
