Pros

401(k) - 150% match of your first 4% PTO - Lots or vacation days, paid holidays, and sick time. Benefits - extremely well priced benefits New open office space in Nashville Great pay/bonus structure

Cons

Being a global company, corporate red tape blocks anything and everything you need to accomplish. Management is not willing to leverage the ideas of employees Many departments have zero work. It may sound nice, but sitting in an office looking at a static computer screen for 8 hours with nothing to do gets very frustrating. Philips is supposedly a “lean” company, however, all processes are anything but lean. It is near impossible to get anything accomplished in a reasonable amount of time. Recently relocating to Nashville, the business still has an extraordinary amount of things that need to be fixed, frustration lies around every corner. Sexual harassment gets a slap on the wrist, on many occasions.

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.
