Good Company to work for.

Field engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The diversity of the employees really reflects the global organization concept. At the same time, you feel like you are working for a smaller company when you are in the individual locations.

Cons

The organization is sometimes slow to make decisions because of the different steps that approvals have to go through.

SBT is a great place to learn

Specialist/engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Siemens has an extensive internal training program, and they are willing to invest in training from out side resources. I was able to develop skills in many areas of electrical and HVAC engineering. My immediate supervisor gave me many opportunities for growth, and I took full advantage of those opportunities. The office staff was generally very kind, considerate, and a joy to work with. There were some highly effective people working at SBT and I learned volumes from them.

Cons

SBT made the mistake of empowering employees, but not paying accordingly. For a company that invests so heavily in training, SBT did not do a good job of retaining qualified engineers. I believe management underestimated the importance of compensation that you can take home and put in the bank (i.e. NOT bonus “points” or discounts, or a pat on the back).

All companies have some good qualities

senior staff engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Global Company that requires one to work with people worldwide. This leads to a better understanding of the global marketplace and different perspectives. New CEO Reid -Anderson has good ideas and is a good communicator. Resource constraints require working on a lot of different projects simultaneously. which can be both a pro and a con depending on ones perspective.

Cons

Crappy compensation! Not enough people to meet commitments so long hours with unreasonable commitments leading to less than perfect results. German Leadership does not understand cultural differences in the US. The company forces global development without understand the pros and cons.
