      Pros

      Large company with opportunity to move within the organization depending on the job function. Very nice campus in Andover with a great cafeteria, on-site gym, convenient store, on-site nurse, mother's room, etc. Ample parking with a few on-site power outlets for electric vehicles. Cool Work-Place-Innovation happening within each building with stand-up desks, cool lighting, nice kitchen areas.

      Cons

      I joined Philips right out of college and grew within my function during my 5+ years with the organization. I left because I was being paid significantly below the minimum of the salary range regardless of the promotions, career moves, and stellar performance reviews I had received. There was this strange "rule" in place that salary increases can't be awarded greater than 10% of the employee's current salary.... because of this I always significantly lagged behind the salary range for my grade while others with far less experience, or poor performance, were being brought in at the mid-point of the range. I felt like the Company took significant advantage of me and this influenced me to seek alternate employment.

      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.
