      Pros

      Philips provides very good benefits, although a bit skimpy on the sick time. Pay is pretty much strictly at the median. Good place to start and get your feet under you. Lots to learn all the time.

      Cons

      Very very difficult to rise or change positions within the company. HR has a death grip on mobility within the company. The commitment to a downtown location was not well thought out. So much lost time and effort just getting to work and getting home. The IT infrastructure seems to be from the 1980's. We have learned how to work around a broken set of linked software systems. The open work environment with piped in white noise is also poorly thought out and about 10 years behind the times, and with only half the banks of lights able to be adjusted. If you find yourself under the on all the time lights, be prepared for eye strain problems....lol. Lastly, bonuses for hourly are terrible. Apparently tied to the worst performing divisions so regardless of how well you do or how hard you work, you get the shaft.

      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.
