Pros

Some flexibility when it comes to working hours Hybrid home/office working Fairly good benefits, in line with industry standard Good Holiday allowance Good Pension scheme Private Healthcare

Cons

Annual Pay rises always below inflation level effectively penalising loyal employees who stay longer than couple of years Business likes to pretend they want to develop people so they started enforcing compulsory learning hours which are useless and just a tick box exercises which everyone completes under a threat of bonuses being cut. No collaboration between departments and poor communication. No recognition for taking on extra work. If you show willingness to take on extra thing you will become a long term solution to their poor resource planning issues.

Pros

Things are never static in the company. There is always new things to learn. My 1st boss told me, "This is not your last job, but it can be your last company". This is very true. I have moved across several roles throughout my career in Siemens. Great staff benefits. Colleagues are fantastic. Made many good friends. Work hard, play hard. Flexi working / WFH is the new normal moving forward, even post COVID.

Cons

Quite a fair bit of internal processes, but Siemens is a huge global company and I believe that this is necessary. Leaders are open to listen if we have better ideas to reduce this complexity.
