Pros

Pay is above average, lots of good people

Cons

Company culture lacks accountability and leadership lacks vision. There are a lot of Reduction in Force happening across the company eliminating the positions of long-term employees who are walking out the door with all the tribal knowledge. The return to office policy has no value, so I think Philips is using it to get people to quit and/or to fire them.
