      Pros

      My first couple of years were great at Philips. Great products, work life balance was awesome. Then came a new CMO.

      Cons

      New CMO was let go of B2B of a big shampoo company that she loves boosting about working at. When you ask the industry - they say she killed the business. She reorged the marketing department and they are now losing 2-3 people a week. Every person who had talent and history realized they were cut off and being forced out by the new CMO and left. The culture is awful - everyone talks behind each others backs, it is a woman's club (teams may have 10 women and 2 men on a business that sells men's razors!!), and all fun employee appreciation events were canceled. All career paths were cut and succession plans were let go.

      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.
