Pros

The benefits are great! The 401k match is very good and it's difficult finding other companies who match similarly. The health benefits and better than some. The salary is okay, I'd say it meets industry standards. It's definitely possible to be paid more elsewhere. The site is moving from Andover to Cambridge.

Cons

The management is really bad from senior managers to directors. There doesn't ever seem to be a clear goal. They're constantly jumping and shifting from project to project and they don't take the time to do it right the first time. The company lacks transparency big time. Employees are more likely to find out that their jobs are moving to Nashville via a rogue/mistaken e-mail (this has happened) than an actual announcement from management. Another con is much of the business is moving to Nashville, and they're slowly farming the jobs to the Nashville location. Some managers play favorites.

Philips Response

Hi there, Thanks for sharing a few words about your experiences working for Philips. This means a lot to us, especially since you've been working for our brand for a couple of years already. Your input is appreciated. We can imagine it's harsh finding out that jobs move to another town via this way. That's definitely not the impression we want our employees to have. Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Philips' management is active on Glassdoor as well, so your feedback is duly noted. Wishing you all the best in your professional career.

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.
