Siemens reviews

I have an engineering degree but I was assigned a role in an unrelated field. I completed my sceta co-ops in this unrelated role and when I asked at the end of the program if I could switch to an engineering role I was told “no.”. The sceta contract that I signed as a student locked me in for four years with siemens. I have to stay with the company or I will be fined $40,000. I feel a lot of resentment towards the company and the position. I wish that I never joined in the first place.

- lot of internal technologies - you are unable to use lot of knowledge in another company - relatively low salary comparing to another companies in same city - your carrier growth is absolutely not in your hands (by this I dont mean like: I will be one day boss of this company, I mean growing in terms of knowledge of techologies of your choice - they are deciding what you will focus on, not you) - switching between projects doesnt exist (even though it is promised on interview) - no time to learn new things, only what is really necessary to do your current task (kinda same / extension to point 3 in cons) - lot of projects are relicts of history, using outdated technologies
