Pros

Excellent Benefits. Empathetic Management. Flexible Hours.

Cons

REALLY early hours if you are based on the West Coast. Expectation that you will start your day at 4AM regularly. Really white, male organization. We just had IWD and there was a focus on how many women in senior leadership but I'm not seeing that. I am a L80 and I am regularly the only woman in meetings and the rest are all white men. The diversity clearly isn't in my department.

Hi there, thank you for taking the time to review your employer. Your feedback is very welcome. We're glad to hear that you're keen on working for Philips in Alpharetta and that you're happy with the provided benefits and flexible hours. At Philips we believe that the best place to work is an inclusive and diverse one and we regret that you don't see the diversity you expected to see in your department. When it comes to the working hours: we understand that having to start very early is not always too ideal (or possible). We'll make sure to forward your feedback and advice to our management, but please feel free to share your thoughts with your HR representative as well (if you haven't yet). Thank you again for leaving your review here on Glassdoor and thank you for being on board!

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.
