Pros

Good health and overall benefits

Cons

Unless you live in India, Poland, or Panama, you have ZERO job security with Philips. It is widely known and spoken about by Leadership - exact words "The company is not performing as well as it should and therefore cost control is vital if Philips wants to continue to deliver solutions to our customers at "affordable prices". While we are optimizing our costs on multiple levels, one of the actions is optimizing our location footprint to reduce our labor costs by moving resources to "Low Cost Countries" (USA is not one of them...).

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.
