      Pros

      Some islands exist in the company with really smart, hard working people. Also, some really innovative, promising technologies being developed. As a results, now and again Philips surprises with a hit in spite of itself. If you can get hired into one of these islands - go for it!

      Cons

      Strategy seems to oscillate and company does not have obvious synergies between 3 disparate businesses; not a risk-taking culture, usually a fast-follower, lack of accountability and difficulty in firing people means some "dead wood" at the company, decision making can be slow and political process.

      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.
