We were sorry to read your comments but thank you for taking the time to share your views. We acknowledge this has been a time of great change at Philips, separating from lighting and shifting our focus to health tech has required a lot of dynamic working and fast-paced change. We hope this can also be a rewarding time for our employees as we broaden our skills, are exposed to new ways of working and move into new markets. I’m not sure we can effectively address your concerns here but as you know we’re currently in mid-year PPM cycle so now’s the best time to have an open and frank discussion with your manager. The whole purpose of the PPM is to give you an opportunity to review your career objectives, address the challenges you face and discuss longer-term career aspirations, which of course we hope will be at Philips. We’re glad your aligned with our mission and vision for the future and hope you’ll be able to continue to drive change and inspire others to do the same as we continue on our journey of transformation.

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.
