Pros

At this point I can't think of any

Cons

After over 20 years of employment with Philips I was part of a massive layoff (450 of 850 employees left go). Currently those that survived the blood letting have no idea where they will be working or for how long. Senior management is clueless and seems to think that moving from the current building will solve all of the negative issues with the FDA etc. Truly clueless

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.
