      Pros

      Overall great products, smart people, and solid install base.

      Cons

      Royal Philips is a 123 year-old sinking Titanic. 2014 was a dismal year and many, many good people lost their jobs. Philips split Lighting division and Healthcare apart. Now the two are the bow and stern of the sinking ship. Both halves will still sink, now only more slowly. Management has never been able to integrate acquisitions into one cohesive organization. The buying spree from the last 20 years has created Silo businesses that can't be managed. Inside of each Silo are other Silos. For example, Sales and Service compete with each other. There's zero focus on solving real customer needs.

      Cons

      Healthcare industry moves slow and the company can be siloed because it's so big

      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.
