Pros

1. Attractive policy, health insurance, gym, variables etc 2. work from home, sick leave etc

Cons

1. Its not product based but behavior is of service based. lots of politics by managers. 2. Technologist, architects, senior architects have very tough life and no job security. 3. 4 times a years reorganization happens and only technical people get fired specially Engineers, Architects and Test Architects. 4. Mismanagement at lower level is causing failing of BUs, one after another.

Hi there, thank you for taking the time to review your former employer. We highly appreciate it that you've not only shared the things you were happy with during the time you've worked for Philips as Senior Architect, but that you've also shared the aspects that you think need to change. Of course, reorganization is definitely not something that we think lightly of. We're constantly striving for improvement, not only as manufacturer but also as employer, and your feedback is therefore very valuable to us. It will be duly noted. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts here and all the best in your future undertakings!

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.
