Pros

I guess that the deciding factor that makes Siemens a great place to work probably depends largely on the person running the branch. I used to read these reviews, and would come across one like I am about to write and say to myself, "I hate that guy". But since I have been here ( seven months) I actually look foreward to coming to work again. Here at my branch we have Complete professional freedom when it comes to scheduling your work, and how you perform your work. I mean, who knows about the tasks to be done, and how to coordinate them with the customer better than the person that does it every day? I came from SimplexGrinnell, and after ten years of seing how they did things, I can assure you that running a branch office how this one is being ran is the reason that our customer ratings here are WORLD CLASS. Period. We have a very talented team, and our growth rate here is unbelievable. But here's the catch; you have to be the kind of person that can get things done, and not the type who is not motivated and just lets stuff fall through the cracks.

Cons

Very little feedback from management about job performance (good or bad).

Pros

The domain of the smart grid.

Cons

You would rarely find so much of unprofessional and incapable senior folks in any IT product company. The managers of India lacks communication skills. Instead of improving upon the mistakes, they take pride in taking wrong steps. They are very good at politics and hiding information, telling different stories about an issue to different employees. When the managers cannot automatically get respect from the rest of employees, what would they do ? Neither the management trusts the employees, nor the employees trust the management. Never seen so much of politics in such a small company. May be the company wants it's employees to quit hence they are just silent on this issue.
