Hi there, thank you for taking the time to write down some of your experiences at Philips. We regret hearing you're not completely happy working for us and that you feel like higher management is driven by politics. That's not the employer we aim to be, and we can imagine it doesn't make for the ideal work environment. Should you have any concerns regarding the way we conduct our business, we invite you to share this through our independent Ethics Point (https://secure.ethicspoint.eu/domain/media/en/gui/100518/index.html). We wish you all the best with your career!
Amazing people, really good managers that care about your growth
Cons
Healthcare industry moves slow and the company can be siloed because it's so big

- 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.
