Siemens Digital Industries Software reviews

Unlike other Glassdoor posters, my product line became extremely busy around 2013. Software development has gone agile and significantly increased production. Downstream teams (release mgmt., software build teams, documentation, training, localization, etc., etc,) are all scrambling hard to support the increased load. Seasoned people have left because of the increased work load and increased complexity. Why work harder than ever before with no salary increase? The RIF/voluntary retirements summery of 2017 have further increased the workload. Working weekends is coming back in vogue. (They haven't done too much of that since 2003-05.) These days, interview questions center around how well you triage work when there's not enough time to do it all. Communications between business units is subpar. Very difficult to build best-in-market product when groups work in silos.

Some managers won't even speak to you when you say hello. Very odd. It's like you're not human to them. They over react to the economy and have many hiring freezes and salary freezes which makes it difficult to advance at times. Also, way to many "reductions in force" which means employees are given a sum of money to get out of the building. The entire time you're working there, you need to be on linkedin and updating your resume because you never know when you'll get the axe. Very stressful!
