Avantages

The products, the intended mission make a true difference in the world, The employees are smart, passionate, committed to the patient and partners. The Philips reputation over these 100+ years is meaningful in the marketplace.

Inconvénients

The top tier leaderships' reputed lack of appetite for Americans continues to rear its ugly head. Strategy is managed by emotion and its not pretty. A large scale change almost for the sake of change is an annual event, and has created a toxic, fearful culture in the USA disrupting both the employee and customer experience. Leadership in Amsterdam does not demonstrate interest or care in the American workforce except for the lovely option availed by leveraging our employment "At Will" laws as a means to taking the sting out of a lack of revenue. Perpetual, ongoing reductions in staff have created a "keep your head down" mentality - a killer to innovation, to speaking up to point out mistakes. Career Paths are a thing of the past, and are based on 'who you know' (who is in power at that time), not what you know (credentials, competencies, experience). This is not a great time to sign on to Philips OR is it like buying when the price is low.... go in at its worst, and cross your fingers it will ramp?

Avantages

- Easy commute if you live north of Seattle/Bellevue - Decent cafeteria - Decent compensation

Inconvénients

- 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.
