Pros

A decent employee can look amazing by contrast of the 'old timers' who can't or won't do anything.

Cons

Little opportunity for advancement, change suggestions are not taken well nor implemented and there's reasons why so many of the product lines have the FDA knocking at the door all the time for audits. Corporate policies are stuck to even when they are bad for the customer, or employee or both because no one can think outside the box.

Hello there, first of all we'd like to thank you for your dedication to Philips and for your valued service for the past three years at our office in Cleveland in the United States. Thank you too for sharing your views. As you know we had some pretty serious challenges in the past couple of years that led to some bold decisions and big changes. Our track record in quality has not always been perfect and we are building on past learnings to ensure that we deliver quality, innovation, and value to every single patient, customer and business that our brand touches. We'd like to advise you to make an appointment with your Manager or HR representative to discuss how your work environment can be enhanced. If you feel you would like to have an anonymous discussion please contact the Philips Ethics hotline.

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.
