Philips Interviews Employee Reviews
What did you like most about the interview process?
It was previous managers that have now retired. They were great.
Review from Operations Dept
invited me back for 4 interviews (which was nerve racking)
Not a prolonged interview process. Met with a few executives and we talked about relevant topics and results.
The ease. My Hiring Manager made me feel super comfortable in the interview.
Review from Operations Dept
It was good interview session
Friendliness, they didn't make you feel nervous
focus on the fit of the individual in a team rather than technical expertise
If a candidate is not fit for any role, the company refers them to suitable open roles without completely rejecting them.
Nice water dishes and snacks
Fast. Nice people. Diversity of perspectives
meetign people that i would be working with
The interview with leadership was good
I saw the office and met my coworkers
Review from Operations Dept
It was just average. They are very slow to pull the trigger.
Team there was willing to welcome me, who knew almost nothing about the product. They still found ways of probing my knowledge, and were willin to hire me.
Review from Engineering Dept
Straightforward and 1:1 interviews. No showboating or trick questions. They care more about fit.
Review from Operations Dept
The tone was positive and the interview team was open and transparent
quickly coming to the questions that matter
Review from Customer Support Dept
I was treated like a human being, everything was explained to me
Review from Engineering Dept
There is a smooth process of recruitment.

What would you improve about your company's interview process?
I was blatantly lied to about my position and started getting hamstrung in my responsibility
Give every person ONE piece of feedback that will help them improve. Quit with the "we don't have time to reply to everyone" because each of those people have raised their hands and said "Im interested" (they've also taken time to process all the details the portal mandates.
It was very slow for me. Took months.
The interview is too easy because they're desperate for employees. Philips has an insane turnover rate.
The interview process needs to be fairly placed for everyone, not just the established salaried ranks. Philips hires almost exclusively from out, and hourly staff have to advance many titles to reach Engineer level.
Hire quality managers and pay them fairly. Filling positions fast and cheap isn't working.
Teams should be involved in any interview process.
