Pros

I loved my co-workers. Good pay and benefits.

Cons

Re-organization. I saw many very talented and dedicated employees laid off in an attempt to save money. Throughout my tenure, we were constantly encouraged to recommend our friends or family for open positions. After seeing a couple rounds of layoffs, I am glad I never did. It would have been horrible to have a close friend or family leave their job to go to Phililps only to be laid off a few months later.

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.
