Pros

Great training Good benefits Good career prospects

Cons

I was fired for gross misconduct, once I went through ACAS they decided to give me my 3 months notice pay and a referance. This was due to discrimination due to my mental health.

Siemens Response

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and we're pleased that you think that Siemens provides good development, benefits and career opportunities. We are however disappointed to hear that you had negative experiences during your employment at Siemens, and your employment ended in such a manner. We have a positive focus and awareness on disability including mental health, with mental health trained advisers in our office locations. We do not tolerate discrimination on any grounds and have processes in place to raise concerns and manage issues raised. Given you state that you went through ACAS we are unable to comment further.

Not a good place to work for in the Finance area, it's a hostile environment

Business Outlook

Pros

Fairy competitive benefit package and salary is okay, good 401k match good PTO. People are generally nice and professional. They will always keep you busy at work so you won't be bored.

Cons

The culture is very strong in German and they much prefer German management. This site doesn't really operate like a global company as it's operated more like a small company. The Finance management is pretty horrible as its being dictated by one individual. The one individual pretty much do whatever he wants and nobody will say anything whether it’s right or wrong. Siemens corporate in many ways is harboring bad management and made employees suffer and they pretty much don’t care. Very disappointed at such large global company of supporting bad management! It was personally a pretty bad work experience working at Siemens.
