Pros

Compensation, benefits, and work-life balance

Cons

Company-wise, they don't seem to know what they are doing. Even the most basic of tasks will consume days. Don't expect any team-building. The company clearly states its culture, values, and professional development, yet, management does exactly the opposite. Philips is an "innovation" company, yet the management style is command and control. As a result, negativity and deceit are common and your career will suffer. Public reprimands occur frequently - people routinely referred to as "stupid.."

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.
