Pros

The benefits are amazing with good PTO, Sick, and 401k match. My group had great work/life balance and I had a very supportive manager.

Cons

Philips seems to only really care about what is “trendy” as they struggle to get more women in leadership roles, but then don’t provide benefits, such as maternity leave, to actually attract and retain female talent. Global makes decisions for the region that don’t really make sense. The move to Nashville wasn’t really cost saving and going to Cambridge will lose a lot of top talent. Again, trying to attract women into leadership roles, but then require them to commute up to 2 hours when they could have kids in school isn’t going to make you an attractive employer.

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.
