Pros

Cambridge Site is particularly great to work, as it's in a faster paced version of corporate Philips. Work life balance is good, colleagues leave the office whenever they want. There is no real pressure to stay long through the day. 401K benefits are very good.

Cons

Even in a faster-paced environment, there are a lot of dependencies and communication across sectors is lacking. Work culture and work ethic is not unified.

Pros

The people in non- upper management roles that work there are fantastic. Great sense of community onsite and the culture champions are consistently looking for ways to make work life better.

Cons

Very poor communication on the strategy for the business unit. Leadership publicly promotes innovation and new ideas to be presented but then those ideas are shot down or penalized in private by current upper management. The business unit leadership says that don't want excuses for project delays but will then decide to do 3 major layoffs in the first two quarters with no transition plan, no support for gap in resources and no expectations to delayed progress.
