Pros

Not speaking to the organization I am in but to the company. The benefits are great at Philips, everything from paying your gym fees to a ton of time off. Sick leave is also generous. There are managers that exist at Philips that truly care about their employee's and want you to grow within the company but as a person too.

Cons

Speaking to the organization and not about the company. It is terrible. It is an abusive place to work with management that loves to micro-manage everything possible. I am not kidding I was asked to show how I have my email inbox set up. I would stay away from this job, I am actually trying to leave it as we speak. Work at Philips but never, ever take this job. They will sell you on how great it is and how "you'll run your own region" but they spend so much time hovering over that you don't run it at all. I have had some bad jobs in my life but this one takes the cake. The last one I would note, you have a ton of vacation at Philips but the management that runs this role basically won't allow you to use it sighting that "they cannot have more than two employees off a day" when there are 52 people split between two supervisors. Think about how many people take days off around national holidays... good luck because you have to compete with your co-workers now to even use that vacation.

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.
