Pros

Great coworkers, clean environment, that's pretty much it.

Cons

Management is terrible. They are only concerned with growing in their own career. Most have been promoted not because they deserve their position, but because they knew someone. Most have no actual knowledge of the area that they manage. Many never listen to their technical employees to make decisions, and they tend to make decisions only based on what the "path of least resistance" is. Financial targets trump being compliant. The organization is so focused on being lean, that there aren't actually enough people to get anything done. Being extremely lean, managers never jump in and take any responsibilities. Most just delegate everything to their employees to the point of overload. When you take a day off, expect to pay for it 3 times over when you return, since you will never have a back up. Also expect to be called at home during your days off. Management is also more focused on what time you come in and leave, versus what you accomplish during a day. There is no work life balance. Most senior management have formed what we call "the boys club" where they support each other and not their employees. Overall, management is clueless and tends to blame their failures on the employees.

Pros

Opportunity to move up is almost on part with other engineering companies. They also do a decent job of keeping up appearances.

Cons

This company does not care about the health or well-being of their employees. They will have you working 60 hours a week with what could hardly be considered overtime pay. Also, if you are disabled in any way then this is not the company for you. They do not cater to their employees health needs in any way.

Siemens in Japan

Recommend

Pros

They have a big market share of Japanese health care market. The company is very stable stayed more than 100 years in Japan.

Cons

All affairs are controlled by German head branch and not much authority is available for each domestic division . Fields other than health care are less represented in Japan. In each division, one management person has strong authority, therefore, if someone is disagree his/her boss, it will be very hard to stay long.
