Not as good as it should be, sometimes disapointing

Business Outlook

Pros

Amazing people that are very nice to work with. Has been a career starting place for hundreds of young developers. Some very nice projects. A place to learn. Big company with many opportunities. Good training programs.

Cons

The upper management in Brasov is very unprofessional and biased. Siemens used to have top tier management during PSE days, the current situation is very bad and is destroying the company from top down. Huge salary gaps across various roles. The students are hired on very low money and kept that way for years in order to finance the much higher salaries of senior members. Some team leads have no leader skills. The internal communication is non-existent. The company is now very far from what a modern IT company should be.

Pros

Siemens has a well recognized international name. Good place for skilled junior people that enjoy constant change without proper guidance.Good place if you love having promises in writing broken. Recognized company name on your resume. A good place to have worked in the past.

Cons

Too many layoffs year after year as work is moved to other Siemens companies around the world. USA management not really in charge of US business and are powerless. All comes down to the bottom line as dictated by Switzerland. Remaining workers must absorb workload after any RIF and then 6 months later the positions are posted again for junior people.
