      Pros

      If you land on the right team at Philips, every day can be an absolute joy. They take decent care of their employees (although it DOESN'T compare to the rest of Silicon Valley's tech sector). The company is stable, so you don't have to worry about it disappearing altogether.

      Cons

      If you land on the WRONG team, your life becomes a struggle to justify your existence. Massive layoffs happen every year at Thanksgiving. Benefits declined a little every year I was there.

      Cons

      Healthcare industry moves slow and the company can be siloed because it's so big

      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.
