Pros

Great co-workers, pay, and benefits

Cons

There are some people (lifers) who have been at Philips for a long time (10-25 years). When restructures (layoffs) happen, magically the lifers are moved into/given newly created roles. Things are done the Philips "way", so bringing new and innovative ideas is not considered or valued. In some business units, there are no budget monies to support paid programs and initiatives.

Pros

- Easy commute if you live north of Seattle/Bellevue - Decent cafeteria - Decent compensation

Cons

- The level of apathy amongst colleagues is off the charts. Many people are simply coasting and collecting a paycheck. When you try to be a team player and pick up the slack, you simply become a target for blame. - Due to the extremely lax "return to office" policy, the office often feels quite empty when there is plenty of work to be done. Being onsite M-F often leads to more work with little support. - There is a culture of public shaming, with several meetings every week dedicated to project leads targeting individuals to make up for their own lack of technical understanding.
