Pros

First of, most of the employees there are "temp" employees. As far as benefits that Philips offers I wouldn't know. The only thing that I like are the hours, They are from 7-3:30pm. no weekends. The Cafe area is pretty decent.

Cons

Everything besides what I said above. Being there only a short period of time I've come to the conclusion there is no moving up in this company. Half of their employees are temps and a lot of them have been that way for 5+ years. A multi-million dollar company and they cant hire? Very cheap to me. Also there is a very big latin population in the manufacturing side and I feel we are looked down upon. We are not talked to like human beings more like annoying children specifically in the gluing/testing area, there has been complaints about her but none acted upon. She has made woman cry thats how rude she is . The manager does not seem to care about her employees or their moral, nor does this entire company. Every time I go to lunch all I hear is how much people hate it there. I can now see why. Such a shame...

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.
