Pros

Pay is above average, lots of good people

Cons

Company culture lacks accountability and leadership lacks vision. There are a lot of Reduction in Force happening across the company eliminating the positions of long-term employees who are walking out the door with all the tribal knowledge. The return to office policy has no value, so I think Philips is using it to get people to quit and/or to fire 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.
