Pros

Philips is full of great benefits and great people. There is an emphasis on a work-life balance, and it's well shared across the company. Obviously you might be stuck with a manager that does not share this mindset, but for the team I am on, and for the people I talk to (both in Nashville and around the US/Globe) it is a recurring theme. There is also a strong focus on the end user, which is typically a patient. They do their best to drive the point home that the work you do will likely aid in saving someone's life, or aiding in their care.

Cons

The ship is slow to steer. There are some highly ambitious individuals here, but I've seen some ideas get stomped out, not because of manager's or a culture that stifles innovation, but rather the amount of red tape that exists. It should be noted that this is likely exacerbated in my current role, but felt it should be mentioned. The data and tech literacy of the company is quite low. If you are looking to do analytics or want to work with data there will be a lot of hair pulling involved while getting said data, as well as communicating its worth.

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.
