Pros

Great work-Life balance Employee oriented Good compensation level

Cons

Not a generic statement about Philips but in the area I am talking about, executive level management and leadership was very poor. Takes forever to make decisions, decision once made are often changed, some executives think about their next position from the minute they started the current one and behave that way so only short term strategy (or actually tactic)

Hello, we're glad to hear that you found a great work/life balance whilst working for Philips as a Program Manager, we understand that our people have a life outside work too! That your experience with the management was not so positive, is of course regrettable. Our management is also monitoring all Glassdoor reviews and is listening, and your feedback will help us enable a successful future for our people. We wish you all the best for the future.

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.
