      No career growth opportunities, salary and bonus based on personal preference rather than skills - Senior Software Engineer Philips Employee Review

      Pros

      The opportunity to work on enterprise-level healthcare solutions.

      Cons

      Very limited career growth path, highly discouraged by the management. Salary increase and yearly bonuses(if any) are being accorded very subjectively, non-performance based. Any complaints about management are totally ignored by upper management. Management style seems to be more reactive than proactive. Several engineers had to leave the company for the upper management to finally realize there are some issues at the department level and acting upon them still didn't take place. Projects fail because of incompetent architectural designs and employees are being blamed for it instead. Bidirectional communication is officially encouraged but practically inefficient at least and inputs from employees are mostly ignored.

      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.
