Pros

Interesting and meaningful work with opportunities to develop professionally. Exposure to international projects. Good learning environment in terms of business consulting and client interaction.

Cons

1- I experienced serious discrimination and racism within my team, notably from my manager and these concerns were not adequately addressed when raised. This had a serious impact on my overall experience. While I believe this does not reflect all Siemens employees, the company must take stronger action to ensure a respectful, inclusive, and accountable workplace, as such issues have absolutely no place in Canada. 2- I also experienced abuse of authority from my manager, including being told not to contact HR without prior approval, even for highly confidential matters. Again, please note this was my personal experience with my manager, and I genuinely believe it does not represent all Siemens managers. 3- I was only provided with the bare minimum tools (computer and phone), with no laptop bag or headphones. I was initially asked to use my personal headphones for work despite the high number of virtual meetings with clients and colleagues. I do not believe this reflects a global Siemens policy, but rather relates to the management issues mentioned above.

Pros

The company has a well-known global presence

Cons

Poor management and a lack of transparency. The culture is very political and full of ineffective processes. Services are overpriced and backed by poor customer support. The company claims to offer 'uncapped commission,' but this is intentionally misleading. As soon as you over-achieve your quota, they trigger windfall clauses and caps to limit your payout. Don't be fooled by the recruiting pitch; the goalposts move the moment you start succeeding.
