Pros

Great employees. Good pay. Good benefits.

Cons

Working environment is not very good. Very poor management. Employees are constantly told to do more with less resources. European management dictates global policies with no concept of how things are done in other countries - they feel their processes are successful in their country so they should be successful everywhere in the world. The company is trying for world domination, but is always playing catch-up to its competitors and does not like that the competitors have more market share and their overhead costs are less This means cuts and restructuring is almost an annual occurrence just to try to become more efficient at lower costs. Employees fear for their jobs and local management is too scared to challenge anything - resulting in tremendous amounts of red tape, poor quality, un-happy employees with no motivation to do well. An example of the poor management - the company sets deadlines on projects before they know what the details are and then tells employees if they don't want to do the job, there are plenty of contractors who can do it instead of them.

Pros

Enjoyed my time at Siemens. Expected to be there for a long time. Good reviews of performance and work performed.

Cons

Corporate did not consult local before commencing a lay-off of 74 people the day I left. People sent from Corporate to conduct the lay-offs. Even managers did not know if they were going to be there at the end of the day. Additional lay-offs continue and are expected. Suspect the facility is closing.

Pros

Great salary and benefits, stock options, 401k. Relaxed dress code and flex time available.

Cons

No cubicles or offices. you work next to each other on long open tables with multiple workstations side by side. Little to no desk space. No privacy when on phone. Conducive to chitchat and distractions. If there is no direct billable work, watch out. Layoffs are common there.
