Business outlook
Pros
large knowledge resources at parent company, organizational skills training recognized in the job-market, good springboard to get out of the Philippines and hire with other Siemens company, if talking at odd hours is your thing, the call center operation has openings. Senior managers get wheels and a phone, rank and file get rice subsidy
Cons
culture of bribery deeply engrained in sales departments, local strategy out of focus, caught up in global orientation, compensation levels below local industry averages, product/price spectrum not aligned to market requirements. incessant reorganization distract from business objectives. answerable to multiple bosses. overtime a necessity, vision/mission a dull veneer
