I applied for the Software Technologist (C++ Technology) role through Philips’ job openings. I was shortlisted and attended the first round of interviews, which went very well. I answered all the questions asked and successfully solved the coding problems provided by the interviewer. Overall, the interview experience itself was positive. One of the best interview.
However, after the interview, there is no further communication from the recruitment team. Despite multiple follow-up calls and emails to HR, I did not receive any response. Even now, the application status remains “Under Business Review” for a prolonged period.
I find it disappointing that candidates are not informed about the outcome of their interviews. If there is no requirement or if a candidate is not selected, it would be professional and respectful to communicate that clearly. A lack of response leaves candidates confused and uncertain about where they stand.
This experience was particularly disheartening because I have always held Philips in high regard, and it was one of my dream companies to work for. Unfortunately, this lack of transparency and communication has negatively impacted that perception.
