Pros

nice people, not too stressful. Many people seem to enjoy working there, but there has been a lot of turnover lately. Overall it is a nice place to work, nothing horrible or reckless to run from.

Cons

pay is not great if you started there out of college, HR is pretty useless. Unless you have a manager who likes you or someone who can promote you within the organization I would leave. There are a lot of wasteful people and programs spent from German heads that can be annoying, always steering to carry out objectives of the "mother country".

Pros

Good salary and benefits as befitting a mega corporation. Siemens has some wonderful products and even better people, but the lack of communications from upper management to the employees stinks. Maybe this comes from the German background where you are just supposed to shut up and follow orders, but it makes for a less than pleasant work experience.

Cons

Downsizing and believes in the mushroom principle (keep them in the dark and pile poop on them). Here you have great people and they are ignored. The constant specter of a division being sold or downsized demoralizes everyone. Then there is the little problem of bribes that has gotten Siemens in trouble around the world. That gets around to your customers and hurts credibility.

Pros

A very innovative company with a great brand and many very bright people. An excellent learning environment that is global in nature. If you want to get a truely global experience this is the place. You also will get in depth knowlege of sectors including Industry, Energy or Medical. The products are truely world leading. The opportunity for someone early in their career to be trained and groomed are exceptional.

Cons

Matrix structure causes it to be slow moving and its never clear who is leading the charge. Often people spend more time reporting internally the same information over and over in different formats to the various stakeholders. It is inefficient and at the end of the day, the leadership is lacking.
