Pros

As any big company, Philips has great things to offer for mid-manager level up, like car, good bonus, pension plan, and a good salary. For those interested, it is not uncommon to have talents doing assignments in Netherlands or even moving there.

Cons

My dissatisfaction is more related to the strategy the company is following than to any internal conditions. Short term is total priority and monthly controlled results keeps the company from making mid-long terms decisions that are needed to have a solid business and to preserve the culture and pleasure of building something (it is only spin-off business).

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.
